Hurricane Helene left floods and death behind its 500 mile path of detruction from its wind and fifthteen foot storm surge. On monday September 23 the National Hurricane Center in miami was warned about a tropical storm forming in the Carribbean Sea. Tuesday it was projected to the the north eastern gulf. Wednesday it upgraded to a category 1 hurricane and was projected to hit florida and head for tennesee. on thursday in the gulf it ramped up to a category 4 about to hit the coast of florida. friday, storm surge flatten coastal communities and blew building in to pieces. it was down graded to a tropical storm but that didn't stop it from causing chaos in georgia and the carolinas. saturday, north carolina waters were just receding, the road around the state were, for the most part, closed because of flooding or debris, and ashvillie was still under water a local sheiff even stated "to say this caught us off-guard is an under statement."
I think this storm was a terrible tragedy. and while some damage and loss lives could have been avoided with proper preperations, you can't blame the people. now while it's not impossible it's not ever day a massive devestating hurricane rips through north carolina. that's probably what most people thought that live there. they probably though it was no big deal. hurricanes are some of the most devistating natural disasters out there they destroy homes, buisnesses, and most importantly familys. i feel terrible for the ones who lost loved ones during this tragedy.
what do you think about this tragedy?
do you think it was avoidable?
if you lived in north carolina would you have stayed?

Good job overall Wyatt. I do think your summary could have been longer and you could have replied more frequently.
If i lived in north carolina would you have stayed. No, I wouldn't have stayed at al because if I did that would be counting on my life and do i want to die at the age 14 no not at all. So i would've left there as soon as I could.
What do you think about this tragedy? I think that Helene was a devastating blow to a lot of people down south. Unfortunately, it would not slow down as it made landfall and continued a 500-mile path on land. I do not think it was avoidable unless you left right away. Most people are used to it and would rater stay than evacuate.
I think this was a really bad hurricane that destroyed many peoples homes and lives. I don't think it was avoidable because it was a natural disaster and theres not much you can do about those situations. I'm not sure if I would've stayed but I might've because I would usually associate hurricanes with florida maybe georgia not north carolina and I would've been in for a suprise.
1.) It was horrible and destructive and should be taken seriously. People's homes were destroyed, people were lost/missing and approximately 100 deaths occurred.
I think that this hurricane destroyed many lives and hurt people by this tragiety. I dont nessacarly think it would be avoidable there are places where it could of be avioded like evucating the cities it hit most in, instead of just staying at there homes getting a chace of getting trapped. No, I would have left to other family that didn't get hit.
I think that the severity of the storm was greatly underestimated. It was unavoidable until it was too late. If i lived in North Carolina, I probably would have stayed, but only because I would've been underestimating the power of the hurricane like everybody else.
I think that the storms were terrible they were complete chaos and devastation. I feel that it could've been avoided if you knew about the storm before it took place. You could've gotten some important things out of there but not all since you can pack everything you own without it taking a while. But I could see why some would get confused maybe you didn't see it headed towards you because it's unlikely. But overall it is just a tragic event.
This is really heart breaking. The storm was terrible and devastating, but we could also be a contributer to this with global warming. If I lived there it woulkd depend on how much I was leaving behind along with how storng the storm was going to be.
I think that this is considered a devestation in the country. This strom took lives and homes away from innocent people. I don't know if it was avoidable though. I think if the world helped with global warming, maybe. If I was living in North Carolina, I would have left as soon and I heard the news.
