Because we all know you will return one day, bearing another name.

Let us hope the lessons will have been learned by then.

🕯️ In memory of the 252 lives lost.

❓ Why?
What did we miss?
What was left undone?
How many lives could have been spared?

We are one year later and… do we have the answers to these questions?

Your record rainfall triggered catastrophic flooding in the Appalachians.

At least 108 people were killed.

You, are the deadliest weather disaster in the state’s modern history.

And yet, it is much farther north,
As you weakened hour by hour,
That you entered History.

The History of North Carolina.

You struck the U.S. coast on September 27, 2024, at 1:10 AM.

With winds near 140 mph (220 km/h).
Just your peak intensity.
A record for Florida’s Big Bend region.

You are the first major hurricane I ever followed live.

🌍 From your first winds blowing off the coast of West Africa,

💨 To your passage as a tropical storm in the Caribbean Sea,

🌀 All the way to your historic intensification into a hurricane as you entered the Gulf of Mexico.

Today, you no longer exist.
From the world, and from the public eye.

But in a few days, people will speak of you again,
Reminded by the date of your devastation

Yet, those who had the misfortune of crossing your path think of you every single day.
