The videos emerging from western NC and other areas in the Appalachians are breathtaking. I’m not sure we’re prepared for the death tolls from Helene, which I say as someone who has lived through multiple hurricanes and curated content from many others. There will be MANY climate change refugees.

OK...the NWS Bot collection is now fully populated and ready to go. I'm sure bugs will come up along the way, but I think it is 95%+ stable. There's an index page at nws-bot.us including a map (borrowed from NWS) to find the right bot for the area you want to follow.

The Waffle House index says Hurricane Helene is going to be a bad one. Below is a restaurant boarded up in Crawfordville, Florida. All of the Waffle Houses in Tallahassee are also closed (www.tallahassee.com/story/news/h...). Helene is now a Cat 4 storm.

On Twitter, @kenklippenstein.bsky.social published a link to a post which contained a link to the dossier on JD Vance reportedly hacked from Trump campaign emails. Elon Musk suspended his account immediately afterword. There is no page of policy available about hacked materials.
