I wrote a bash script to scrape the per-county power outage data, used CSVKit to convert the JSON to a CSV, took the CSV into Google Sheets and XLOOKUP'ed the FIPS codes into it, and got this map: www.nbcnews.com/news/weather...#Helene

This county map of the eastern U.S. shows the share per county without power service. A swath of the country, like a stab wound that starts in northern Florida and extends up to the western tip of Virginia, is almost entirely without power.

About 18% of homeowners in Florida are without homeowners insurance protections. In some counties it’s even more. And now there's Hurricane Helene. We crunched some Census Bureau numbers from the latest American Community Survey for this piece: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This county map of Florida shows the share of homeowners unprotected by homeowners insurance. Values range from 9% to 33%. Miami-Dade County, on the southern tip of the state, has the third-highest percentage. Atop the map is the text "About 18% of Florida’s homeowners lack meaningful homeowners insurance — the sixth-most in the U.S."

Meet Heather Baker. She practices as an unlicensed midwife. Wisconsin told her to stop in 2014 but instead she shifted online and to Mexico. After a baby died this year, a community of midwives and clients found each other. Now they’re trying to stop her. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Screen shot of Heather Baker’s website bio. She is a woman with long brown hair wearing a blue dress with pink flowers.
