$524M Hurricane Helene relief on the way [Ep. 527]

#northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx #podcast

In this video, we break down Governor Josh Stein’s historic signing of the Disaster Recovery Act of 2025 Part 1, his first bill into law. Learn how the $524 million allocated for western North Carolina will provide critical support—from aiding farmers and repairing infrastructure to extending emergency declarations after Hurricane Helene. We also explore the additional $217 million earmarked for eastern NC, and what these steps mean for communities still recovering. Stay tuned for in-depth analysis on the ongoing recovery efforts and the push for $19 billion in federal support for even more resilient infrastructure and disaster readiness.

Plus:

1. Tornadoes, damaging winds, hail storms in North Carolina and South Carolina

2. NASA SpaceX Crew-9 return home from space

3. Windy weather combined with low humidity creates more fire danger (and even some snow and wintry weather at the highest elevations in western North Carolina.)
