“When man learns to control the elements, When the winds will be quiet and the earth cannot be torn apart, When there will be no loneliness, no destitution, no sickness, no war, When the last hungry child has been fed, Only then there will be no need for the American Red Cross” Albert Schweitzer
Hurricanes Helene (September 2024) made landfall as a Category 4 in Florida and made it’s way to Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. Helene’s high winds and flooding killed more than 230 people, making it the deadliest hurricane to strike the U.S. since Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico in 2017.
Hurricane Milton (October 2024) also made landfall in Florida and caused record flooding and devastation with the help of 37 tornado’s it brought with it. As of October 21, 2024, Hurricane Milton killed at least 35 people: 32 in the United States and three in Mexico. Preliminary damage estimates place the total cost of destruction from the storm at US$85 billion.
