One year ago today, Hurricane Helene made landfall near Perry, Florida
At the time, nobody knew the wide-reaching devestation it would cause in the most forgotten region of America: Appalachia
Ultimately, the official numbers say that about 250 people died as a direct result of the storm (flood drownings, mudslides, et al.), at least 157 of them being just in the Asheville, NC area.
As we all know, the government stats are always fake & gay, so the true number is likely magnitudes larger, especialy when you factor-in the extended effects of the storm, like power outages, starvation, freezing-to-death, etc.
And it should go without saying that of course we're talking about almost exclusively White people affected by this natural disaster followed by the purposeful government mismanagement, neglegence, & malice.
