Water that surged down the Swannanoa River in Asheville, North Carolina, was so powerful that it ripped a three-story home into separate pieces and deposited each in different places in the city’s Tunnel Road area.

A key bridge 200 yards away was smashed and needed to be closed to traffic. The second story of the destroyed house was left atop it, while remnants of the house’s first floor sat about 100 yards away in a gas station forecourt.
