How much rain has Hurricane Helene dumped?
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helene caused unprecedented rainfall, with extreme weather specialist Chris Higgins emphasizing its impact, particularly in the Appalachians and Ohio Valley. The storm released approximately 40 trillion gallons of water, leading to devastating effects. North Carolina experienced extreme totals, with some areas receiving over 30 inches. In contrast, if all the rainfall from Helene were collected in St. Louis, the city would be flooded to a staggering depth of nearly 2,911 feet. This visualization highlights the immense scale of Helene’s rainfall and the potential for catastrophic flooding.
The rainfall footprint from Hurricane Helene was tremendous. It stretched from the Florida panhandle up into the Carolinas and then back into the Ohio Valley and Midwest.ย

Non-U.S. citizens receive mailers urging their vote in presidential election
SUMMARY: An investigation by Fox 2 reveals that non-U.S. citizen migrant workers are being urged to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Union mailers were sent to these workers, advocating for pro-worker candidates. The landscaping company employing these individuals noted that while workers had legal H-2B visas and union representation, they were puzzled about the union’s actions, as non-U.S. citizens cannot legally vote. Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft expressed concerns over non-citizens voting and highlighted new state laws requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. Studies show minimal instances of non-citizen voting, with zero tolerance for such acts.
Union mailers have been sent to non-U.S. citizen migrant workers, saying, โStop the Steal by stopping Trump’s allies. Vote for Harris-Walz and pro-worker candidates.โ
