I’m heartsick for the families who lost their homes and their loved ones to Hurricane Helene. It’s a sad reality that this hurricane rapidly intensified into a powerful Category 4 storm because of climate change. We must do more to confront the climate crisis as we rebuild.

Didn’t realize how many folks have no idea where Asheville and these other underwater towns are.

I’m in Raleigh- 2hrs inland. Asheville is 4hrs west of me, up in the blue ridge mountains. It was unthinkable that a hurricane could wipe out towns this far inland & high up. https://t.co/Or2F2oTrKg pic.twitter.com/7FhBaFl6xD

NEW: I was able to get some great ground video in Chimney Rock, NC this afternoon — a gorgeous mountain tourist town near Lake Lure that was all but washed away by Hurricane #Helene
