Hurricane Helene, a very recent category 4 hurricane back in the end of September 2024. Dumped large amounts of rain in Western NC. Personally, I was here in Raleigh during the hurricane. I remember staying inside my apartment for the entire day because of the large amounts of rain even though it was only here to tropical storm level strength of winds, in contrast my parents, whose house is in a town 30 minutes east of Charlotte called Midland, from the things my parents told me is that there was a power outage throughout the neighborhood for a couple of hours and that the roads going out of the neighborhood were just completely blocked and the stream that is by the entrance, wasn’t flooded that tremendously since Florence back in 2018. In summary, me personally and family- wise we weren’t really affected tremendously as in other people around the state.
