    Didn’t the Spruce Pine mines actually get hit by Helene? All the articles I am seeing are saying that “access has been blocked” due to the flooding, but nothing concrete as far as damage to the mines themselves. Seems highly concerning for the global economy, though.

      I don’t think the actually mines were damaged, but the only road up there was washed out.
