A Generation Defining Event
Episode 2: Accounted for
Montreat, NC
Our guest, Daniel Wiggs, is a public works employee for the mountain retreat of Montreat. But on the night of Hurricane Helene, he found himself a first responder evacuating its residents from rising waters as fears over the local dam’s potential to fail nearly became reality.
The week following was one of relentless effort they worked around the clock to open up the roadways and bridges so that the town’s critical infrastructure could be pieced back together.
Then when told to go home and rest, Daniel went on to help shuttle supplies to the hard-to-reach communities along the Broad River.
A lifelong resident, Daniel is a father of three and a true and honest voice of Southern Appalachia, representing this regions compassion for their neighbors, call to service, and grit in the face of adversity.
An honor to interview, this story will fill you with awe at what we are capable of when triggered, and hope as you hear a witness to the power of community.
