Hurricane Helene Impacts:
Blowing Rock was incredibly fortunate through the storm. Town of Blowing Rock infrastructure is undamaged and operational. Our water is safe and downtown power and internet restored thanks to the hard work of Town employees, Blue Ridge Energy, and others. Major highways into our area are safe and open for travel. 

As we begin to welcome visitors back to Blowing Rock, we ask for understanding and empathy for the High Country. Blowing Rock businesses are open and eager to serve and visitor support is vital to their survival. But our broader community is still recovering from Hurricane Helene and the impact to the area is significant. If you are visiting soon, we urge you to plan ahead and keep several things in mind.

Due to ongoing impacts from Hurricane Helene and continuing emergency response operations, Watauga County, the Town of Boone, and the Town of Blowing Rock remain under a curfew from 11pm to 7am until further notice.

Our top priority is the safety and well-being of both our visitors and residents. We urge everyone to stay updated through our official county and town channels and those of local emergency management for the latest information on conditions, safety advisories, and travel restrictions. We encourage those currently visiting to respect the curfew and follow the guidance provided by emergency officials to ensure your safety.

Our hearts go out to all those impacted by the storm. Many of our immediate neighbors are not yet safe. Local crews and volunteers continue to work tirelessly, and we are so grateful to all our emergency response teams. Town of Blowing Rock crews continue to assist the Town of Boone and nearby communities where possible and we remain dedicated to supporting recovery efforts with our neighbors.
