GREENVILLE JOURNAL · Table Rock wildfires point to longterm risk from Hurricane Helene debrisWhile rain expected to move into the area offers some hope of relief, crews battling the Table Rock wildfires hampered by downed trees from Hurricane Helene.
An #AVLWatchdog story about the situation in French Broad and Riverside parks, and the whole-sale tree removal.

It's been 6 months since Hurricane #Helene. Here are JUST SOME of the astounding numbers I've gathered:
- 16,200,000 people lost power
- 42 trillion gallons of water fell
- 4,562 cell towers knocked out
- 125,000 homes damaged
- 822,000 acres of forest destroyed

The #Wildfires at the NC/SC border in the western part of #NorthCarolina mostly continue unabated today. The 2 in the Green River Gorge region (very steep hillsides, doubtless littered with #Helene tree debris) are still 0% contained, and now combined at almost 6,000 acres burned.
Temps today will be in the 60'sF, with yet another red flag warning and gusts up to 30mph like yesterday, with low dew points.
No rain likely until the weekend, and not that high a chance even then. Smoke today will travel with the winds again, so we may all see it. Be safe, folks.

So true. Our local bank, Manna, was completely destroyed in the #Asheville floods from #Helene, yet still managed to get food out to the people who need it. Their donations have gone way up, but they have to rebuild their operation from scratch, even while still providing more food, with less support.
A very good article on the topic from #AVLWatchdog

There is a report on #Hurricane #Helene and the damage and losses it caused last September.
Luckily, this can never happen again because the new government, #Murica's beloved junta, has forbidden the term #climatewarming. Biden is to blame for Helene!
The Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane #Helene (September 24-27, 2024) has been posted on the NHC website. Helene made landfall in the Florida Big Bend region as a Category 4 Hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale).
