Looks like Duke Energy is about to screw us over again by passing Helene recovery costs onto the customers.

Duke Energy bills likely to go up to pay for Helene recovery https://www.wral.com/story/duke-energy-bills-likely-to-go-up-to-pay-for-helene-recovery/21706062/

Duke Energy bills likely to go up to pay for Helene recovery

Duke Energy tells 5 On Your Side that later this year, they will ask the North Carolina Utilities Commission to let them issue storm bonds for Hurricane Helene and other storm related costs from 2020 to 2024.

4/4 👉Single, scattered tree damage is difficult to quantify from the air.
While we have seen some other damaging wind events affect our timber resource in recent decades, this may be the most damaging wind event we have seen in North Carolina since Hurricane Fran in 1996 (Eastern North Carolina) and Hurricane Hugo in 1989 (Western North Carolina). Ground observations by personnel within the damaged areas and pictures coming out of these areas reinforce the observations made. #HeleneNC #WNCStrong #ncwx

@weathermatrix Friendly alt text of that graphic for the blind folks on my server:

Worst timber and tree damage in the state of North Carolina since Hurricane Fran and Hugo. The U. S. Forest Service damage assessment is below. Interactive link in the comments
Our #HeleneNC damage estimate indicated that more than 27% of forestland in the affected counties received some level of damage. Due to the timber types prevalent in this area of the state, a substantial proportion of this damage appears to be hardwood sawtimber. As indicated in our general observations below, softwood timber was not damaged in the same proportion as the hardwood types.

Was just in the Isothermal Community College in Spindale NC, was able to get the following flyer for #HeleneNC disaster recovery info. While there I asked about potential #HAMradio courses through their Continuing Ed program. If anyone from #RutherfordCountyNC is interested contact the college please to let them know.

From NC Emergency Management on FB: Keeping an emergency supply of water is important, but storing it is just as important. When storing bottled water, remember these safety tips from the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA): https://bottledwater.org/bottled-water-storage/. #HeleneNC
