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?

What do you think about this tragedy? I think that it sucks but you can't do anything about it. It definately isn't avoidable becuase it is a natural disaster, if you lived in north carolina would you have stayed? I definately would have stayed because I would risk it.
I think that staying would be a bit risky and could possible be faced with death if the storm gets really bad.
I think this was a very devestating tragedy and my heart goes out to all the people who were affected by it. I do not know if it could have been avoided as it's a hurricane, but I think more people could have evacuate if they had know about the storm earlier.
i agree i feel like many lives were affected but i feel like people could have prepared more and because people didn't evacuate many lives were lost.
what do you think about this tragedy? I think that it's sad that it happened to them and it shouldn't of happened do you think it was avoidable? no but i think that they could of avoided some of the damage. if you lived in north carolina would you have stayed? no
i agree i wish it wouldn't have happened. i think some damage was avoidable and i would have left.
If I lived in North Carolina I would have evacuated before the storm even started.
this storm was definitely a tragedy and very sad for the ones who have been affected. I think maybe it could've been avoidable if they knew about it weeks before But unfortunately, we did not. If I lived in North Carolina, I would have not stayed in my state.
I think it was a terrible tragedy and it was so sad to see all the damage that the hurricane caused. If I lived in North Carolina I would have tried to leave but sometimes it is better to stay if it is too late because its better to be in your house than in the middle of the road when it hits.
I believe people could have avoided getting killed/injured. Since they are all warned early about the Hurricane and its path they should have had time to evacuate somewhere else. I know this is not always the case because traffic can be slowed down and stopped but everyone usually has a choice if they want to leave when the hurricane hits. Most people choose not to say this is where they've lived their whole lifes and that they don't think the storm will be that bad. If I was in North Carolina I would have moved somewhere safer while the hurricane passed.
