Hurricane Helene (NASA)

Posted October 1, 2024, 5:00 p.m.

Hurricane Helene made landfall in the the “Big Bend” region of the Florida panhandle on September 27, and continued inland through Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Rainfall from the storm’s remnants caused devastating flooding in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. The city of Asheville, North Carolina, was especially hard-hit.

If you want to help provide assistance for the victims of this disaster, please consider making a donation to a reputable disaster relief charity like Catholic Charities USA or the American Red Cross.

C. S. Lewis

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God; for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
