Glad to see "Isaac" and "Joyce" are fish spinners and hopefully no human impact anywhere. Hoping this new storm headed to the gulf is a boring dud. We don't need any more trauma & drama down here Mother Nature!!

North Carolina suffered the highest death toll, at least 42 so far – a grim number that could rise as crews make their way to the hardest hit areas. The most recent fatalities include five deaths reported in Henderson County, along with the death of a sheriff’s deputy in Macon County who was swept away by the storm

Disregard original post

That initial source didnt mention Hurricane Ian in 2022. As of right now the death toll for Ian is higher than Helene.

At least 116 people have been killed and hundreds more remain missing after Hurricane Helene slammed into the southeast states, bringing catastrophic flooding to communities and plunging thousands into darkness.

side note

according to the CDC, the red cross reported 117 deaths related to hurricane Sandy, with the media reporting as many as 131. The cnn post above isnt entirely accurate.

I live in Tennessee and we receive updates hourly. This is the first time I've heard of "roving mobs stealing generators". Can anyone else confirm this?

"The southeastern United States
has been plunged into crisis as the aftermath of Hurricane Helene continues to wreak havoc across multiple states.

A staggering 2.5 million customers across South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Virginia
remain without power,
according to PowerOutage.us.

The power outages have sparked scenes of chaos,
with desperate families lining up outside gas stations
and reports emerging of roving mobs stealing generators."

I would not be surprised if this is accurate. Each state needs to get tough on looters, price gougers, etc. to protect their residents.

It used to be like that here in FL. People would pilfer stuff just to resell it. If it was a parent getting diapers or milk, they were given leeway. But there were thugs that would loot and destroy property because they could. The FL Attorney General typically gets on TV and reminds people what happens to looters and price gougers. You can report them now and they investigate. Stores have been penalized and lost liquor licenses, etc over the years.
