Our thoughts are with all of those affected by Hurricane Helene, along with those preparing for another devastating storm this evening, Hurricane Milton. Hurricane Helene dumped more than 30 inches of rain on Western North Carolina - areas where the infrastructure is far from able to support this type of water. The topography of the mountains in this area is largely to blame for the devastating floods, but according to Art DeGaetano, director of the NOAA Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University, climate change and lack of proper infrastructure are to blame as well. The warm waters from the Gulf of Mexico helped the storm absorb even more moisture and intensify as it neared the coast, and human-amplified climate change is causing more frequent and intense extreme rainfall events, according to the federal government's Fifth National Climate Assessment. https://lnkd.in/erR2aquz #hurricanehelene #hurricanemilton #waterinfrastructure
