The worst effects of the #storm were felt in the central part of #NorthCarolina, where tens of thousands of people were without #power & at least 2 #tornadoes were confirmed, authorities said. As of early Monday, no fatalities or injuries had been reported.

#OrangeCounty, which includes #ChapelHill, declared a state of #emergency Sunday night, saying in a statement that “numerous water rescues & evacuations are underway in low-lying areas.”

"Already this year, we’ve had 886 tornadoes, a 35% increase over last year. Plus, hurricane season is right around the corner,too. Seems like a really ridiculous time to be sabotaging the National Weather Service, doesn’t it? But Donald Trump is doing just that."

"It looks bad, ugly, violent. I am taking time to go searching for forecasts and am having to rely on independent meteorologists, experts on social media who have little in the way of a platform. The process of gathering information, of approaching the whole thing in an enlightened way, is getting harder and harder, whereas we have enjoyed so much access in the recent past that it feels maddening to be here."

"The elimination of these [weather-monitoring and -reporting] programs also serves another purpose, which is pushing the public into a new era of intentional ignorance. Yes, our climate is worsening, but a lack of empirical data and the sidelining of expert voices will curtail knowledge of that fact.

Even as I type this, I am watching a storm roll in over the horizon."

Jennifer Berry Hawes and Cassandra Garibay's chilling report about the disaster Hurricane Helene wreaked on western North Carolina and how warnings about what was coming went unheeded ends with a notice of what Susie Hill did as she looked at the devastation of her house:

"She can think of just one place to turn to next for the magnitude of help they need. On her cellphone, through the fog of trauma, she types in 'FEMA.'

"As climate hazards worsen, Trump moves to weaken FEMA and shift disaster response onto states. ...

The recent firing of the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is just the latest in a string of blows for the nation’s top disaster-response agency, which has been repeatedly undercut by the Trump administration’s efforts to rein in spending and restructure the federal government."

"Red states, of course, get 15 percent more in FEMA funds. Just like they have more children on Medicaid. Maybe this hurricane season will be the one where red state voters look around what’s left of their roofless, uninsured houses and see no one from the federal government coming to help, and say to each other, hey, y’all, I’m starting to think maybe these Republicans are a bunch of grifters who are actively making everything worse!"

"This weekend tornadoes ravaged the land, killing at least 27 people in Missouri and Kentucky and two in Virginia, right after DOGE took a chainsaw to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Weather Service, and the literal day after Trump fired FEMA’s director, after that guy said FEMA was unprepared for storms. Trump had already previously frozen FEMA’s funds."

"#Tornadoes most frequently form within the thunderstorms embedded in the #hurricane’s outer rain bands, far from the storm’s eye, due in part to the increased instability there.

Climate change does not necessarily have a direct causal link to the tornadoes. Rather, the well-documented association between warmer sea surface temperatures and heightened hurricane intensity make the conditions that lead to the tornadoes more likely. "
