Busick, North Carolina, a remote town near Mount Mitchell State Park, received 30.78 inches of rain as a result of Helene — a record for the highest rainfall in the Appalachians from a tropical weather system. It beats the 27 inches that fell over the Virginian Appalachians in 1969.

Former President Donald Trump will visit Georgia after the southeast was battered by Hurricane Helene, while President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris stay in Washington, D.C. — for now. Biden will deliver remarks providing an update on relief efforts from the White House on Monday,

President Joe Biden announced on Sept. 30 that he expected to travel to survey impacted states like North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
