Heart felt words from NWS covering western North Carolina and northeastern Georgia. So much more news of the human and infrastructure impacts yet to be learned of. Remember…this is far removed from the coast, and is mostly not related to wind.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.
