Some hospital associations around the country are warning that they face a disruption of intravenous and peritoneal dialysis solutions due impacts on a medical production facility in North Carolina. Baxter International, an Illinois-based healthcare company, said its facility east of Asheville in western North Carolina suffered significant impacts from Helene, with many roadways and bridges left impassable following the storm.

John Zara said he and his family are busy mucking out their Swannanoa, North Carolina, home after they were saved from the roof during Helene’s horrific flooding.

Country music icon Dolly Parton, her East Tennessee businesses and Walmart are partnering to donate millions of dollars to assist victims of Hurricane Helene floods.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is installing a one-mile-long boom in Douglas Lake to collect debris that was washed into the lake by Helene.

The ingredients are: an elongated area of disturbed weather across the Gulf that includes an area of low pressure offshore of the Mexican coast, a large low-pressure system over Central America, and the remnants of a tropical depression from the Pacific Ocean.
