North Carolina mountain town of Chimney Rock has been all but wiped from the map after Hurricane Helene hit.

The town's only suspected death — an elderly woman who refused to evacuate — occurred.

Rutherford County officials said Saturday that three people died in the county and earlier this week said there were not “bodies everywhere”.

Some residents see signs of hope amid almost complete destruction of Chimney Rock Village .

The town played a starring role as stand-in for a Catskills resort in the 1987 Patrick Swayze summer romance film, “ Dirty Dancing ” The town’s legacy of hospitality and entrepreneurial spirit dates back to the late 1800s , when a local family began charging visitors 25 cents for a horseback ride.

Nick Sottile and his wife were vacationing in the Turks and Caicos when Helene hit.

The Broad River Inn and Stagecoach Pizza Kitchen is believed to be the village’s oldest building.

Without help, he said he has no money to rebuild.
