SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen’s impact is expected to extend well inland, potentially causing catastrophic flooding in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Asheville, North Carolina, recorded over 4 inches of rain on Wednesday, totaling more than 9 inches, with more rain anticipated. The saturated ground leaves little room for additional rain, raising concerns about river flooding, particularly in areas affected by the Swannanoa River’s past floods in 2004. The French Broad River is also under monitoring for flooding, while tropical storm-force winds may lead to power outages in Asheville as conditions worsen.

SUMMARY: The George E. Allen Library in Boonville is launching a community outreach program called the “Beacon” to distribute personal hygiene products for free. Sandy Donahue, a librarian, explained that the initiative arose from a grant opportunity and aims to assist struggling community members, including the homeless, without requiring them to qualify or answer questions. The program will not be held at the library but in the parking lot of local businessman Tommy Burus, with the first distribution event scheduled for Saturday, and plans for weekly events to ensure accessibility for those in need.
