I’m in central North Carolina and we were unaffected by Helene but lots of folks around here have family and friends in the western part of the state.

Unaffected by tropical weather, here. Just another hurricane season.

I live near hickory nc. Fortunately for me just a lot of small branches on the ground and only lost power for about 24 hours. Internet for about 3 and a half days. Unfortunately for a lot of other people around here a lot of b ig trees down and houses heavily damaged. Roads closed off and many went without power for days. A little north of us up in the mountains was a whole different story. Major flooding " google boone, chimney rock, and asheville" just to get an idea. Last thursday i went up to boone as a volunteer with samaritans purse to help out with the recovery. I cant believe the damage i saw up there. So far 113 deaths in nc. Its going to take years to get things back to normal. One thing i will say is the way people around here are helping out is amazing. People pitching in and donating either supplies and/or their time.

Tampa bay here. I wasn’t too worried about Helene and it spanked our area pretty good, flooded my office and in-law’s house. I’m actually kind of worried about this next one.
