Hurricane Helene

The Senate marked the anniversary of Hurricane Helene, which struck western North Carolina in September 2024. Senator Budd of North Carolina recalled the storm’s toll, saying it killed 108 people in the state and caused nearly $60 billion in damage, and described the date as a dividing line for affected communities. He said federal aid has helped families and cleared debris, that recovery remains a top priority, and that he will keep working to ensure communities get the help they need to rebuild.Written by AI from the debate.
