What Hurricane Helene Left Behind

Riverkeepers in Western North Carolina are sampling water in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene brought over 2 feet of rain to many counties in Western NC and caused extreme flooding. The powerful flood waters washed houses, businesses, cars, and sewage—and all the associated chemicals and contaminants, into nearby creeks and rivers. With recovery efforts underway, local Riverkeepers are tracking how this flooding impacted river sediment and water quality in the area.
