Expect more weather events like this and for it probably to get worse because of climate change.
Hurricane Helene hammered the mountains of North Carolina in recent days. The result was a rainfall event that should happen only once every 200 to 1,000 years and what appears to be the most rain ever recorded in the Appalachians from a tropical system.
Conditions for N.C.'s historic deluge began more than 30 hours before Helene arrived
The flood disaster was spurred by multiple waves of excessive rain, the region’s steep terrain and a record-setting flow of atmospheric moisture.
