This hurricane has effected the production of IV Bags. They are now on very short supply.

New figures from current and former experts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have put a new perspective on the sheer volume of rain that Helene inflicted.

A staggering number first put out by meteorologist Ryan Maue, a former NOAA chief scientist, was that 40 trillion gallons of rain drenched the Southeast from Hurricane Helene and a run-of-the-mill rainstorm which pre-saturated grounds across the hardest-hit states.

‘Astronomical’: How much rain was dumped by Hurricane Helene in the Southeast?

Hope of finding Helene survivors starts to dwindle as searches go on
-- At least 215 people reported dead from the storm so far: Authorities
-- Volunteers stepping up, getting supplies to people in need
-- First responders keep searching, but hope of finding survivors dwindling

One thing we have learned in recent years is that it is not only the storm surge and wind with tropical systems but the amount of rain that falls could be the worst aspect with the tropical systems. Tropical systems is the key word. Be it a category 5 hurricane, category 1 hurricane, tropical storm, tropical depression, or subtropical low, they all have the potential of dumping too much rain for any sewer systems to handle.

With Helene all the media at first focused on the Big Bend area of Florida where it made landfall. It did a lot of damage there. Helene was an unusually large storm so it damaged a large area. While Helene was far from a hurricane when it got to the Asheville region residence had two things going against them. It is in the Blue Ridge Mountains. When a storms move into mountains the mountains ring out the rain. Helene was blocked by other weather systems so it could not move through the region.

I find this incredibly ludicrous: Marjorie Taylor Greene stated today that Democrats created Hurricane Helene to intentionally affect Republican areas. This is right up there with her Jewish space lasers causing the California wild fires

Science has made a lot of progress in recent years in understanding hurricanes. But as you noted. Hurricanes are a three dimensional object. And most people only think in two dimensions.

I do not think Democrats created this hurricane. But I do suspect that the inability of the Federal government to quickly respond to the damage done by this storm falls directly into the hands of the Democrats. They were either asleep at the wheel or they tried to politicize recovery efforts.

Heading into the weekend, officials reported at least 215 deaths across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia, the toll climbing as recovery efforts continued. It was the deadliest US hurricane since the levee failures in New Orleans during Katrina killed nearly 1,400 people.

This is really a good first hand account of the damage and destruction and recovery process from Hurricane Helene.

The National Guards are coming to provide help. Many years ago (around 55 years ago) during the Vietnam War, I was a member of the Air National Guard. Here is one of my fellow Guardsmen from the Tennessee Army National Guard stepping in to provide assistance in a time of need.
