Unprecedented Rainfall from Hurricane Helene Stuns Experts

Hurricane Helene, along with a preceding rainstorm, drenched the Southeast US with over 40 trillion gallons of water, an astonishing figure that has shocked meteorologists. This unprecedented volume has led to devastating flooding and at least 100 deaths. Experts attribute the extreme weather to a combination of multiple storms exacerbated by climate change.

In an astonishing meteorological event, Hurricane Helene, combined with a preceding rainstorm, has saturated the Southeast United States with over 40 trillion gallons of water.

This unprecedented deluge, enough to fill Lake Tahoe or 60 million Olympic-sized pools, has shocked experts and led to devastating flooding. At least 100 people have been confirmed dead due to the extreme weather.

Meteorologist Ryan Maue and NOAA's Ed Clark corroborate the astronomical rainfall figures. The deluge is linked to a confluence of storm systems intensified by climate change, making storms wetter and more destructive, according to experts.
