Tropical Storm Helene forms, forecast to hit Florida as major hurricane

Sad part about the mtns, the only flat place to built usually has a river or creek flowing through it. This flood took out valleys for miles and miles.

I've always been grateful I live on a ridge between 2 river valleys. 400ft above the flood plains. My basement leaks with heavy rains but I don't have to worry I'll drown in my sleep. Tornado took out our farm in '74 so I know what it's like to lose everything. Someone you don't know showing up in person to help you or your family means more than money. Knowing you're not alone in a very real way.

Feel bad for these folks. Wish there was a way to help in person but know I can't.

Just feeling sad, @Peanut but glad your house is on a ridge.
@havasu if that was for real I'd be surprised if he didn't lose his job.
@Bacpacker this has been a horrible devastating disaster for millions. Job loss, all belongings, I'd think a bit of PTSD comes in on this kind of stuff.
Edit to add: @havasu that was funny.
