"The Daily Mail describes how the storm left the small mountain town of Swannanoa, North Carolina, “entirely erased”.
"Scientific American says the storm “shows no region is safe from climate-fuelled disaster”, explaining that “rising temperatures are fueling stronger, deadlier hurricanes with impacts that can ripple across the country”.
"As Helene headed inland, it “dumped record-breaking rainfall” on areas across Georgia and the Carolinas, it continues.
"Associated Press describes the 40tn gallons of rain that fell across the southeastern states as “an unheard of amount of water that has stunned experts”. It explains that storms are “getting wetter as the climate changes” because the warmer air holds more moisture,"
