Was there other clear damage? We still have some damage from a hurricane in July around here, and it was really quite bad until about a month ago.

They still only have potable water in portions of their municipal water lines. The amount of damage to their municipal water system was pretty crazy.
I'm not OP and I haven't been there since before Helene so I don't have first hand updates.
