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?

i agree, i would have left and there isn't much you can do about the storms.
I think that this tradgedy was tragic. I don't think it was very avoidable, im sure prep was an opotion. If i lived in the state of carolina, i would have grabbed what i need and scoot on out of there
agreed, i would have left and all you can do is prepare.
I really don't think that natural distasters can exactly be avoidable, but I think they can hit the area less with preventative measures. If I lived in North Carolina, I would've booked my trip to Hawaii as soon as possible. Unfortunately though, not everyone can just flee the state and just come back like its normal.
do you think it was avoidable? no i feel there are no real ways to stop a natrule disastire and if I lived in north carolina would have i stayed the ansewer is yes i feel like it would be a somewhat intresting time but if i was low on money i would stay but if i had enough money i would probly leave
i do feel like money is a factor in fleeing if you don't have to money to leave you can't.
