These floods in America look severe. There's a dam that's about to blow and people are having to evacuate. Also seen a clip of people stranded on a hospital rooftop surrounded by water.

Fasting moving hurricane ever.
Left town yesterday to get somewhere with electricity and internet.
What kind of FUCKING GENIUS installs permanent locks on the windows of a home in hot, humid subtropical environment?! FUCKING ROASTING and continually dripping sweat.
I'm not even in one of the worst hit areas, but there are massive clusters trees uprooted everywhere, fences rip from the ground, downed power lines everywhere - there was also a 12 hour curfew after the storm where no one was allowed on the roads because it was so dangerous.

This is what a lot of the side of the roads look like near home after a couple days later when some clean-up has been done. I apologize for the "shot the picture through the window" quality (except the last two).

What's the weather like now? Are you in the clear or is there more to come?

It's fine now. It went just as fast as it came - thanks for asking
A lot of people still without electricity or access to services stretching across multiple states though.
but don't want to downplay what others experienced and are going through - saying "went just as fast as it came" doesn't apply to a lot people especially those that have experienced flooding
someone I know traveling north from Athens, GA took this terrifying photo a few days ago on the major I-40 highway in the section between the North Carolina and Tennessee border - east bound lanes on the other side from them are gone!
Also know some people in the worst areas hit by floods like in western North Carolina - no power, no water (!), spotty cell service for communication - no gas, no food - could be several weeks to get water due to roads and bridges being washed away and mudslides

It's not even over. I just read that river flood waters across the southeast aren't expected to peak until the end of the week, and there are dams in North Carolina and Tennessee already at risk of failure.
Furthermore, there are already other storms/hurricanes/cyclones roaming and/or brewing in the Atlantic.
Already, in terms of square miles, this has to be the biggest natural disaster in the states.
It was about 350 miles wide and traveled over 800 miles north.

Crazy that there's an entire website dedicated to quartz-related news."Hurricane Helene's devastation could spell disaster for the car industry."

This Milton one sounds terrifying. 180mph winds.

The usual pricks (who invariably think it's ridiculous that human activity in general could be affecting the climate) are frotting themselves silly about secret government hurricane machines, of course.

“8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 225 MPH. This is now the 2nd strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide.
This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere can produce. Yes, there is a mathematical limit and we are nearing that.“

Earlier I saw a satellite image purporting to show flocks of birds trapped in the eye. Apparently all they can do is keep flying until the storm passes or they die. Awful.

Yeah he's probably just doing it for show because he's in the pocket of Big Weather.
