Not sure if it's been posted but Samaritan's Purse will have volunteers at Pinellas park and Perry, FL, Boone and Asheville, NC and Valdosta, GA from today through 11/2 or so if anyone needs help with debris cleanup or the like. My FIL is going this week to Florida.

After living through this in the Upstate SC, I’ve got zero clue how people that live on the Gulf Cost-line and FL mentally do this once every few years

Definitely being persuaded into a whole home generator at this point.
Day 4 without power. Just waiting on our sectioned to be repaired still. The few times I've driven around no line workers in sight. So not hopeful for power any time soon. Every other major section around us has been online with just smattering of single lines out of power.

Sirens Project is another volunteer chainsaw/tree crew that has worked for years clearing trees post-storms. They were in Adele, GA yesterday.

The power outage website shows Georgia coming along. I’m sure resources will be rerouted when done in their current locations.
God bless. I know it sucks.

We got hammered here in Columbia county Ga. Trees, power lines and entire power poles are down all over the place and it's going to be awhile before we get power where I'm at, probably weeks.
This is the worst event I've ever seen here in my entire 61 years by far. I think they said it was almost still a Cat 1 when it got here, I know I sure as hell don't want to see what a Cat 5 would be like, our whole county looks like it was hit by a bomb.
One bright spot for me is even though I have a pretty wooded lot I didn't have one tree fall, I think I'm the only one in my area who didn't so I'm thankful for that

Rescuers fought their way along washed-out roads and through mud-filled ravines on Monday to deliver food, water and emergency supplies across the mountains of southern Appalachia. Officials said that hundreds of residents remain missing in the remote communities devastated by Hurricane Helene.
President Biden promised long-term aid and said he would visit the region, possibly later this week, as the death toll from the storm rose to at least 111 across six states. Almost a third of those killed were in the county surrounding Asheville, N.C.
“There are reports of up to 600 people unaccounted for because they can’t be contacted,” Mr. Biden said from the White House. “God willing, they’re alive.”

Update!
NOC Nantahala River Outpost was barely impacted by the storm. It’s truly a miracle and we are open (for now) at Rivers End Restaurant, the General Store, Outfitters Store and other amenities at our main campus in the gorge. ??Please do not travel as we don’t know road conditions. This is simply to let our local staff and the community know we can offer a hot meal and ability to charge electronics. ??
Due to spotty networks across the area, we cannot answer questions or comments here. Please call our general number if you have questions about hotels, etc. 800.232.7238
We are still assessing our other outposts and will hope to have updates soon. THANK YOU for all the comments and support on our last post. Please keep our surrounding communities and first responders in your thoughts.

Really good look at why this was such a catastrophic rain event. You can see when the front/line that was the predecessor rain event slowed its progression to the east and started to really pull Helene's moisture north, well ahead of the storm even making landfall. The line's movement becomes more northeasterly, training rain showers over the same areas. Then, Helene moved in with massive rain, and really high per hour rates.
We had steady rain, occasionally hard rain, for at least 48 hours leading up to the storm rolling through. The ground was saturated, creeks and retention ponds were already high.

Bristol Motor Speedway opened its Medallion Campground for free for those who need a place to stay. It's not that far from some of Tennessee's most damaged counties and could be a place with running water and amenities to escape to after days of hard work.

The water level graph below from near Asheville shows the two rain events pre-storm and the storm itself. The extra ~9 feet of level rise from 1.5 feet to 10.5 feet before Helene arrived turned what would have been a moderate flood of ~15-16 feet into the record-breaking disaster that it became.

There was so much of that here after Rita in 2005. Sad.

Reading about the lack of gubment response to help those affected in Western NC is very troubling to say the least.
