[Intro]
I’m mean…
Helene
How obscene!
(Mean, mean, mean)
[Verse 1]
No sight of an end
Coming through the big bend
Sustained rain
Can’t compete with 2 feet
[Chorus]
I’m mean…
Helene
How obscene!
(Mean, mean, mean)
[Bridge]
Hard to stay sane
In a hurricane
Hard to remain
The same
[Verse 2]
No end in sight
Just sheer might
What more needs said…
Fifty-two dead
[Chorus]
I’m mean…
Helene
How obscene!
(Mean, mean, mean)
[Bridge]
Hard to stay sane
In a hurricane
Hard to remain
The same
[Chorus]
I’m mean…
Helene
How obscene!
(Mean, mean, mean)
[Outro]
Going down the drain
(In a hurricane)
A SCIENCE NOTE
September 28, 2024 — The death toll from Hurricane Helene continues to rise as officials begin assessing the aftermath of the powerful storm. The hurricane’s torrential rains have overwhelmed infrastructure, placing immense pressure on dams and levees in affected areas. In some regions, rainfall exceeded two feet, leading to widespread flooding and the displacement of thousands of residents.
Moody’s Analytics estimated on Friday that property damage from Hurricane Helene could range between $15 billion and $26 billion. This includes damage to homes, businesses, and public infrastructure across a wide swath of the southeastern United States.
So far, at least 52 people have been confirmed dead across five states—Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Many of the fatalities were caused by flash flooding, fallen trees, and storm-related accidents, as rescue operations continue and the full scope of the disaster becomes clear.
Authorities are urging residents in the hardest-hit areas to remain vigilant as floodwaters recede slowly, and efforts to repair damaged roads, restore power, and provide essential services are underway.
