Posted on December 5, 2024 in ATSC News

Hurricanes Helene and Milton have proven to be two of the deadliest storms in recent history in the U.S., causing unimaginable pain and suffering. The economic impact on the affected regions will be in the billions of dollars. Although Helene hit North Carolina as a tropical storm, it still packed wind gusts of 100-plus miles per hour and dumped unprecedented amounts of rain resulting in a hundred or more fatalities.

This event touched us personally as our daughter, living in Asheville, was in the middle of the event and lost power, means of communication and even water.
