Florida pivots to recovery after Hurricane Milton
SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton made landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast, causing significant destruction and flooding, even in areas previously unaffected. The Hillsboro County Sheriff reported that evacuations were necessary, particularly for vulnerable populations such as elderly residents. Rescuers warn that floodwaters, which may contain snakes and alligators, are unlikely to recede quickly. Over a million customers are without power, while fuel depots provide limited gasoline supplies. Milton has also spawned multiple tornadoes, causing fatalities and extensive property damage. Following this disaster, FEMA emphasizes the urgent need for congressional funding to aid recovery efforts across six affected states.
Milton could crack the all-time top-10 list for most tornadoes caused by a hurricane.

Helene: Farmers encouraged to assess soil damage | North Carolina
SUMMARY: North Carolina agriculture leaders are urging farmers to conduct soil assessments following Hurricane Helene’s devastation in western North Carolina. The state‘s Agriculture Department highlighted the need for careful soil and crop management, advising farmers to check fields for lost topsoil due to erosion and to clear debris. They noted that new soil deposited by floodwaters might vary in nutrient quality and could also be contaminated, complicating assessments. Soil testing is essential, especially for deposits exceeding 4 inches. Additionally, there are no regulations on topsoil quality in the state, emphasizing the importance of testing any replacements.
