State climatologist Corey Davis joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to explain the staggering rainfall brought by Hurricane Helene, which, along with an accompanying storm, drenched the Southeast with over 40 trillion gallons of water. North Carolina alone could have been covered by 3.5 feet of water from the storm’s deluge. Davis highlighted the record-breaking nature of this rainfall and its devastating effects on the state’s mountain regions.
