Today's News: Hurricane Helene

This is terrible. We're been following the Hurricane Helene stories - its hard to imagine what these people are going through:

At least 56 dead and millions without power after Helene's deadly march across U.S. southeast https://t.co/C0l6mQTPxo

Mind blowing to see two hurricanes, #HurricaneJohn on the left (west coast of Mexico), and #HurricaneHelene (Big Bend region of Florida) on the right, both making landfall at nearly the same time. #Helene #Johnpic.twitter.com/5nf644NKi8

This is a whole new class of hurricanes. Storm surge is so high, #Helene is picking up whole houses and taking them for a swim in the middle of the night. There’s no land anymore…just dark water.#ClimateCrisis
