Hurricane Helene left its mark on every street, every home, and every heart in Hot Springs.
In its wake came a story worth preserving—a story of neighbors stepping into the role of first responders, friends becoming lifelines, and a community answering the call in the face of disaster.
Through Our Eyes: A Community’s Photographic Memory of Hurricane Helene captures those moments. This full-color, community-sourced photo book includes over 200 full color photos from nearly 50 local residents, and community leaders who were the first responders in the days after the floods share their stories.
The book will officially launch the weekend of September 26–28, 2025, in parallel with one-year anniversary events in Hot Springs. Every pre-order and contribution directly supports Rebuild Hot Springs Area and helps cover production costs. Pre-order your copy at rebuildhotsprings.org/book.
