Arrr, mateys! In the wild seas of North Carolina, 93 souls have met Davy Jones’ locker thanks to Hurricane Helene! Yet, a fair number still be lost, wanderin’ like drunk scallywags. Let’s raise a mug and hope they find their way back to the ship, aye!
Ahoy, mateys! Raise yer tankards to the grim tidings from the fair land of North Carolina, where the tempest known as Hurricane Helene hath claimed at least 93 souls, and a fine number of scallywags be still unaccounted for, lost in the squalls and shadows! Aye, the grim reaper’s hand reached across 20 counties, with Buncombe takin' the lion’s share of 42 unfortunate souls, while Yancey and Henderson be faring a wee bit better with 12 and 7, respectively.The noble lads and lasses at the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services be workin’ tirelessly to gather a clearer count, but alas, the seas be murky with reports o’ missing scallywags comin’ from all directions—be it from the 911 call boxes or the local taverns! Chief Graney be sayin’ they be scouring the land with all manner of searches, from grid to debris, lookin’ for those lost in the storm’s wrath.
Even as the winds howl, the good Governor Cooper hath signed a relief package, throwin' $273 million into the fray to help the good folk recover and to ensure the rum flows for the school nutrition crew. Aye, it be a time of trial, but together, we shall weather the storm! Yarrr!
