ATVs are being used to deliver vital supplies to stranded victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. The flooding caused by the hurricane has resulted in widespread destruction of roads in eastern Tennessee as well. In one incident, a man named Jacob Ingram and several of his coworkers were swept up in the flooding while working at Impact Plastics in Tennessee. They clung to a roll of plastic tubing for survival.
There are ongoing search and rescue efforts for missing individuals in the aftermath of the hurricane. Additionally, volunteers in North Carolina have organized a “private helicopter army” to aid victims of the disaster. The FBI has agreed to a $22 million settlement in a sexual discrimination lawsuit, and a Texas medical school has halted research using unclaimed bodies. A New York judge has recently exonerated a man wrongfully convicted of murder.
Verizon is currently investigating a widespread cellular network outage. Overall, the impact of Hurricane Helene has been significant, leading to multiple incidents of loss, survival, and community efforts to assist those in need.
