Members of the West Virginia National Guard are being deployed to the Carolinas to help with Hurricane Helene relief and recovery efforts. Twelve members of the 130th Airlift Wing, including a Fatality Search and Recovery Team, deployed to North Carolina, according to a news release from West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s office. Additionally, 30 troops, including a contingent of engineers and loader dump teams, will head to South Carolina to support reconstruction and debris cleanup efforts as the state begins to rebuild. 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 any tropical weather system.
