SUMMARY: I News is reporting on the aftermath of Hurricane Helen, focusing on the damage in Western North Carolina. Photojournalist Robert Willet discussed his recent tour of Clyde, where he witnessed unprecedented flooding along Broad Street, with water levels rising from a foot to nearly 27 feet. He highlighted the extensive devastation caused by water and landslides, contrasting it with coastal hurricanes. Residents face challenges, particularly with the need for PPE equipment and cleaning up toxic mud. However, there are signs of resilience, with community groups helping to rebuild. Willet’s work can be seen in detail on the news website and in the Sunday paper.

The need for help remains high in areas devastated by Hurricane Helene.

SUMMARY: Two women in their 20s died in a car crash in Johnson County, with six children aged under 12 also in the vehicle; one child is in critical condition. The single-car accident occurred at the intersection of Government and Jack roads in Clayton. Investigators report that the driver, speeding about 30 mph over the limit and running a stop sign, lost control, hitting a ditch and a tree before the Jeep Cherokee went airborne. None of the occupants were wearing seat belts, and while alcohol isn’t suspected, the area has a history of crashes.

Two women were killed and several children were hospitalized after an SUV crashed Saturday night in Johnston County.

SUMMARY: This month, National Caregivers Month honors those supporting individuals with special needs. Haley King, born with an extra chromosome, defied early grim predictions, thanks to the unwavering support of her parents and the Tammy Lynn Center in Raleigh. The center offers vital programs like residential care, therapeutic support, and day services but has a waiting list of 18,000 people. Experts emphasize the importance of caregivers finding additional resources, including family support groups. Tammy Lynn Center CEO Sarah Crawford urges the public to educate themselves about the needs of individuals with disabilities, while Haley, now 33, continues to thrive and spread joy.

During Caregivers Awareness, Julian Grace shares how their work helps the lives of several NC families, and that some caregivers say the job is taking a toll on their mental health.
