science

In late September 2024, Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc as it transitioned from a Category 4 hurricane to a tropical storm, unleashing over 20 inches of rain in western North Carolina. This storm has claimed over 160 lives across several states, with substantial damage noted in rural regions like Asheville and surrounding areas, where communities have faced record flooding levels, described as a historically catastrophic event. Experts assert that the flooding was exacerbated by climate change effects, with warmer ocean temperatures contributing to the storm's intensity and rainfall, marking it as a significant indicator of increasing climatic extremes ([17][16][15][8]).
