The storm surge, wind damage and inland flooding from Hurricane Helene have been catastrophic, flooding neighborhoods, stranding residents and destroying homes in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.
More than 130 people have been killed, according to The Associated Press.
Helene, which made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region Thursday night as a massive Category 4 hurricane, was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Big Bend on record.

No more money for relief - Democrat Joe Biden
No food for Whitey until last - Democrat Kamala Harris
Keep voting Democrat! It’s working!
Read somewhere that one NC county got 29.5 inches of rain. Unless your name is Noah, that’s kinda hard to deal with.
Heavy rain at mountainous elevations is a deadly combination................
Sure is...floodwaters on East TN side swept away my house and ALL of our possessions. Like the Joker said after his pencil trick in ‘The Dark Knight’...”It’s...GONE!”
Everybody expects Biden to intervene and declare a cooling off period. But he says he won’t.

My condolences to you for your loss. Are you insured? ............
Remembering Hurricane Agnes, 50 years later...
"As Agnes moved across New York and Pennsylvania, it weakened to extra-tropical strength. The slow moving remnants of the storm dropped around 7 to 10 inches of rain across Pennsylvania with the highest amounts of 12 to 18 inches falling in a corridor between Williamsport and the York/Harrisburg area."
I’m so sorry! Prayers!
OMG!! PRAYERS!!!
So, so sorry! Praying for you.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your home and possessions. Praying for all those who have lost everything. I cannot even imagine.
Steuben County faces estimated $50M in damages, awaits FEMA's assistance
NYS has a $237 billion dollar budget.
Why does Steuben County have to beg from the feds?!
As for the Southern states with damage running into the hundreds of billions, seems to me that's what FEMA money should be there for, disasters so huge states can't pay for them on their own.
Depends on how you mean deal with.
Even places with the worst damage had seen storms like this before, though you’d have to go back five or six generations.
And look at the topography. Flood control wouldn’t have prevented all the damage, but some flood control and better zoning would have helped to mitigate it.
I’m also reading that federal flood insurance uptake is not great in a lot of the areas where people should have had it.
More people need to stop depending in government to do their thinking for them, to bail them out after they make unwise decisions.
Government will never make you whole.
