The Legend of the Princess Augusta or the Palatine Ship

The legend goes back to the historic shipwreck of the Princess Augusta at Block Island in 1738. The ship is known from several contemporary accounts and from statements made by the surviving crew after the sinking, which were discovered in 1925 and reprinted in 1939. The British merchant ship Augusta sailed from Rotterdam in August 1738 under Captain George Long and a crew of fourteen, carrying 240 immigrants to the English colonies in America. The passengers were German Palatines who came from the Palatinate, which is why the ship was referred to as the "Palatine Ship" in contemporary documents, which explains the later confusion about the name. The ship was on its way to Philadelphia, from where the passengers were possibly travelling to a German-owned settlement on the James River in Virginia.

The Burning Ship, by Albert Bierstadt 1869

The Princess Augusta's voyage was ill-fated: The water supply was contaminated, causing a "fever and flux disease" that killed 200 passengers and half the crew, including Captain Long. First Officer Andrew Brook took command when severe storms forced the ship off course to the north, where the survivors were exposed to extreme weather conditions and dwindling supplies for three months. According to the crew, Brook forced the passengers to pay for the remaining rations. Apparently he tried different routes to Rhode Island and Philadelphia, but the storms drove the damaged and leaking Augusta to Block Island. She ran aground in a snowstorm at Sandy Point at the northernmost end of the island at 2 p.m. on 27 December 1738.

According to reports, Brook rowed to shore with the entire crew and abandoned the passengers on board. The Block Islanders apparently did what they could to help. They convinced Brook to let the passengers disembark the next day, and later retrieved their belongings when he left them on board. They also buried about 20 people who died after the shipwreck; the Block Island Historical Society erected a memorial plaque at the site of the "Palatine Graves" in 1947.

The authorities took statements from the crew, but what happened afterwards is unclear. Apparently the crew was not charged for their actions, and they and most of the surviving passengers made it to the mainland, from where little is known about them. Two survivors remained on Block Island and settled there. Most reports indicate that the ship was deemed unsalvageable and was forced out to sea to sink. It may have been set on fire to sink it. According to some reports, a woman, sometimes referred to as Mary Van Der Line, was driven mad by her suffering; she was forgotten and sank with the ship, according to these reports. However, no remains of the wreck have ever been found, and there are indications that the Augusta may have been repaired and sent on to Philadelphia.

There is a rich oral tradition of this event, and numerous sightings were reported in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The legend was immortalised by the poet John Greenleaf Whittier in "The Palatine", which faithfully reproduces the traditional story in verse. Which gave the Legend it's name. On Saturdays between Christmas and New Year's Eve, locals still sporadically report seeing a burning ship pass by. Folklorist Michael Bell, investigating the legend, found that almost a year after the incident, two versions of the night's events were circulated.

The Palatine Graves

The Block Islanders insisted that their citizens had made a valiant attempt to rescue the crew, while the New England mainlanders suspected the islanders of having lured the ship to them in order to seize their cargo. Both legends agreed that a female passenger had refused to abandon ship when it sank, and those who claim to have witnessed her reappearance say that her screams were heard from the ship.

Today, a plaque at the Mohegan Bluffs where the ship is said to have run aground reads: Palatine Graves - 1738. Some claim that those who died that night are buried underground. However, Charlotte Taylor of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission has stated that no physical evidence has ever been found to support either this claim or the legend itself.

Alicia Sadowski and Isabella Corrao at MMFA:

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, right-wing media falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration are ignoring millions of Americans impacted by intense flooding. Media personalities and MAGA influencers have falsely and dishonestly claimed that victims are only entitled to $750 in aid, when in reality that is just the start of federal benefits.

FEMA can provide assistance for victims of Hurricane Helene, but chronic underfunding and climate change, not undocumented migrants, threaten future aid availability

In addition to FEMA providing residents of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia with “a one-time $750 payment to help with essential items like food, water, baby formula and other emergency supplies,” victims can also qualify for “disaster-related financial assistance to repair storm-related damage to homes and replace personal property.” After visiting the wreckage in Georgia, Harris reiterated that “FEMA is also providing tens of thousands more dollars for folks to help them be able to deal with home repair, to be able to cover a deductible when and if they have insurance, and also hotel costs.” [The White House, 10/2/24, 10/2/24]

After President Joe Biden signed a stopgap spending bill in September, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said FEMA can properly respond to Helene recovery efforts. FEMA spokesperson Daniel Llargués said that FEMA is in a “good position” to respond to Hurricane Helene relief efforts after the agency received $20.3 billion under the spending bill. Biden has suggested bringing lawmakers back to Washington to provide additional funding for disaster relief, but Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has claimed “there’s no necessity for Congress to come back”. [The New York Times, 9/26/24, 10/2/24; Roll Call, 10/3/24; FEMA, 10/3/24]

Future concerns for FEMA’s funding are attributable to chronic underfunding by Congress and increased costs associated with extreme weather disturbance as a result of climate change, not aid given to undocumented immigrants. Mayorkas warned that FEMA “does not have the funds to make it through the [hurricane] season.” A DHS spokesperson clarified, however, that aid provided to undocumented immigrants through the Shelter and Services Program is “a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA's disaster-related authorities or funding streams." [The Associated Press, 10/3/24; Axios, 7/14/23; Bipartisan Policy Center, 7/23/24; Newsweek, 10/3/24]

Right-wing media have pushed the cartoonishly false claim that Hurricane Helene survivors are only entitled to $750 in aid, when in fact that the $750 is the beginning.

The right-wing noise machine also dishonestly blamed undocumented immigrants by baselessly accusing them of plundering FEMA funding.

On October 10, 2018, Tyndall Air Force Base on the Gulf of Mexico—a pillar of American air superiority—found itself under aerial attack. Hurricane Michael, first spotted as a Category 2 storm off the Florida coast, unexpectedly hulked up to a Category 5. Sustained winds of 155 miles per hour whipped into the base, flinging power poles, flipping F-22s, and totaling more than 200 buildings. The sole saving grace: Despite sitting on a peninsula, Tyndall avoided flood damage. Michael’s 9-to-14-foot storm surge swamped other parts of Florida. Tyndall’s main defense was luck.

That $5 billion disaster at Tyndall was just one of a mounting number of extreme-weather events that convinced the US Department of Defense that it needed new ideas to protect the 1,700 coastal bases it’s responsible for globally. As hurricanes Helene and Milton have just shown, beachfront residents face compounding threats from climate change, and the Pentagon is no exception. Rising oceans are chewing away the shore. Stronger storms are more capable of flooding land.

In response, Tyndall will later this month test a new way to protect shorelines from intensified waves and storm surges: a prototype artificial reef, designed by a team led by Rutgers University scientists. The 50-meter-wide array, made up of three chevron-shaped structures each weighing about 46,000 pounds, can take 70 percent of the oomph out of waves, according to tests. But this isn’t your grandaddy’s seawall. It’s specifically designed to be colonized by oysters, some of nature’s most effective wave-killers.

If researchers can optimize these creatures to work in tandem with new artificial structures placed at sea, they believe the resulting barriers can take 90 percent of the energy out of waves. David Bushek, who directs the Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory at Rutgers, swears he’s not hoping for a megastorm to come and show what his team’s unit is made of. But he’s not not hoping for one. “Models are always imperfect. They’re always a replica of something,” he says. “They’re not the real thing.”

The project is one of three being developed under a $67.6 million program launched by the US government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa. Cheekily called Reefense, the initiative is the Pentagon’s effort to test if “hybrid” reefs, combining manmade structures with oysters or corals, can perform as well as a good ol’ seawall. Darpa chose three research teams, all led by US universities, in 2022. After two years of intensive research and development, their prototypes are starting to go into the water, with Rutgers’ first up.

Today, the Pentagon protects its coastal assets much as civilians do: by hardening them. Common approaches involve armoring the shore with retaining walls or arranging heavy objects, like rocks or concrete blocks, in long rows. But hardscape structures come with tradeoffs. They deflect rather than absorb wave energy, so protecting one’s own shoreline means exposing someone else’s. They’re also static: As sea levels rise and storms get stronger, it’s getting easier for water to surmount these structures. This wears them down faster and demands constant, expensive repairs.

In recent decades, a new idea has emerged: using nature as infrastructure. Restoring coastal habitats like marshes and mangroves, it turns out, helps hold off waves and storms. “Instead of armoring, you’re using nature’s natural capacity to absorb wave energy,” says Donna Marie Bilkovic, a professor at the Virginia Institute for Marine Science. Darpa is particularly interested in two creatures whose numbers have been decimated by humans but which are terrific wave-breakers when allowed to thrive: oysters and corals.

Oysters are effective wave-killers because of how they grow. The bivalves pile onto each other in large, sturdy mounds. The resulting structure, unlike a smooth seawall, is replete with nooks, crannies, and convolutions. When a wave strikes, its energy gets diffused into these gaps, and further spent on the jagged, complex surfaces of the oysters. Also unlike a seawall, an oyster wall can grow. Oysters have been shown to be capable of building vertically at a rate that matches sea-level rise—which suggests they’ll retain some protective value against higher tides and stronger storms.

Today hundreds of human-tended oyster reefs, particularly on America’s Atlantic coast, use these principles to protect the shore. They take diverse approaches; some look much like natural reefs, while others have an artificial component. Some cultivate oysters for food, with coastal protection a nice co-benefit; others are built specifically to preserve shorelines. What’s missing amid all this experimentation, says Bilkovic, is systematic performance data—the kind that could validate which approaches are most effective and cost-effective. “Right now the innovation is outpacing the science,” she says. “We need to have some type of systematic monitoring of projects, so we can better understand where the techniques work the best. There just isn’t funding, frankly.”

Rather than wait for the data needed to engineer the perfect reef, Darpa wants to rapidly innovate them through a burst of R&D. Reefense has given awardees five years to deploy hybrid reefs that take up to 90 percent of the energy out of waves, without costing significantly more than traditional solutions. The manmade component should block waves immediately. But it should be quickly enhanced by organisms that build, in months or years, a living structure that would take nature decades.

The Rutgers team has built its prototype out of 788 interlocked concrete modules, each 2 feet wide and ranging in height from 1 to 2 feet tall. They have a scalloped appearance, with shelves jutting in all directions. Internally, all these shelves are connected by holes.

What this means is that when a wave strikes this structure, it smashes into the internal geometry, swirls around, and exits with less energy. This effect alone weakens the wave by 70 percent, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers, which tested a scale model in a wave simulator in Mississippi. But the effect should only improve as oysters colonize the structure. Bushek and his team have tried to design the shelves with the right hardness, texture, and shading to entice them.

But the reef’s value would be diminished if, say, disease were to wipe the mollusks out. This is why Darpa has tasked Rutgers with also engineering oysters resistant to dermo, a protozoan that’s dogged Atlantic oysters for decades. Darpa prohibited them using genetic-modification techniques. But thanks to recent advances in genomics, the Rutgers team can rapidly identify individual oysters with disease-resistant traits. It exposes these oysters to dermo in a lab, and crossbreeds the survivors, producing hardier mollusks. Traditionally it takes about three years to breed a generation of oysters for better disease resistance; Bushek says his team has done it in one.

Oysters may suit the DoD’s needs in temperate waters, but for bases in tropical climates, it’s coral that builds the best seawalls. Hawaii, for instance, enjoys the protection of “fringing” coral reefs that extend offshore for hundreds of yards in a gentle slope along the seabed. The colossal, complex, and porous character of this surface exhausts wave energy over long distances, says Ben Jones, an oceanographer for the Applied Research Laboratory at the University of Hawaii—and head of the university’s Reefense project. He said it’s not unusual to see ocean swells of 6 to 8 feet way offshore, while the water at the seashore laps gently.

Inspired by this effect, Jones and a team of researchers are designing an array that they’ll deploy near a US Marine Corps base in Oahu whose shoreline is rapidly receding. While the final design isn’t set yet, the broad strokes are: It will feature two 50-meter-wide barriers laid in rows, backed by 20 pyramid-like obstacles. All of these are hollow, thin-walled structures with sloping profiles and lots of big holes. Waves that crash into them will lose energy by crawling up the sides, but two design aspects of the structure—the width of the holes and the thinness of the walls—will generate turbulence in the water, causing it to spin off more energy as heat.

In the team’s full vision, the units are bolstered by about a thousand small coral colonies. Jones’ group plans to cover the structures with concrete modules that are about 20 inches in diameter. These have grooves and crevices that offer perfect shelters for coral larvae. The team will initially implant them with lab-bred coral. But they’re also experimenting with enticements, like light and sound, that help attract coral larvae from the wild—the better to build a wall that nature, not the Pentagon, will tend.

A third Reefense team, led by scientists at the University of Miami, takes its inspiration from a different sort of coral. Its design has a three-tiered structure. The foundation is made of long, hexagonal logs punctured with large holes; atop it is a dense layer with smaller holes—“imagine a sponge made of concrete,” says Andrew Baker, director of the university’s Coral Reef Futures Lab and the Reefense team lead.

The team thinks these artificial components will soak up plenty of wave energy—but it’s a crest of elkhorn coral at the top that will finish the job. Native to Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, elkhorn like to build dense reefs in shallow-water areas with high-intensity waves. They don’t mind getting whacked by water because it helps them harvest food; this whacking keeps wave energy from getting to shore.

Disease has ravaged Florida’s elkhorn populations in recent decades, and now ocean heat waves are dealing further damage. But their critical condition has also motivated policymakers to pursue options to save this iconic state species—including Baker’s, which is to develop an elkhorn more rugged against disease, higher temperatures, and nastier waves. Under Reefense, Baker says, his lab has developed elkhorn with 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius more heat tolerance than their ancestors. They also claim to have boosted the heat thresholds of symbiotic algae—an existentially important occupant of any healthy reef—and cross-bred local elkhorn with those from Honduras, where reefs have mysteriously withstood scorching waters.

An unexpected permitting issue, though, will force the Miami team to exit Reefense in 2025, without building the test unit it hoped to deploy near a Florida naval base. The federal permitting authority wanted a pot of money set aside to uninstall the structure if needed; Darpa felt it couldn’t do that in a timely way, according to Baker. (Darpa told WIRED every Reefense project has unique permitting challenges, so the Miami team’s fate doesn’t necessarily speak to anything broader. Representatives for the other two Reefense projects said Baker’s issue hasn’t come up for them.)

Though his team’s work with Reefense is coming to a premature end, Baker says, he’s confident their innovations will get deployed elsewhere. He’s been working with Key Biscayne, an island village near Miami whose shorelines have been chewed up by storms. Roland Samimy, the village’s chief resilience and sustainability officer, says they spend millions of dollars every few years importing sand for their rapidly receding beaches. He’s eager to see if a hybrid structure, like the University of Miami design, could offer protection at far lower cost. “People are realizing their manmade structures aren’t as resilient as nature is,” he says.

By no means is Darpa the only one experimenting in these areas. Around the world, there are efforts tackling various pieces of the puzzle, like breeding coral for greater heat resistance, or combining coral and oysters with artificial reefs, or designing low-carbon concrete that makes building these structures less environmentally damaging. Bilkovic, of the Virginia Institute for Marine Science, says Reefense will be a success if it demonstrates better ways of doing things than the prevailing methods—and has the data to back this up. “I’m looking forward to seeing what their findings are,” she says. “They’re systematically assessing the effectiveness of the project. Those lessons learned can be translated to other areas, and if the techniques are effective and work well, they can easily be translated to other regions.”

As for Darpa, though the Reefense prototypes are just starting to go in the water, the work is just beginning. All of these first-generation units will be scrutinized—both by the research teams and independent government auditors—to see whether their real-world performance matches what was in the models. Reefense is scheduled to conclude with a final report to the DoD in 2027. It won’t have a “winner” per se; as the Pentagon has bases around the world, it’s likely these three projects will all produce learnings that are relevant elsewhere.

Although their client has the largest military budget in the world, the three Reefense teams have been asked to keep an eye on the economics. Darpa has asked that project costs “not greatly exceed” those of conventional solutions, and tasked government monitors with checking the teams’ math. Catherine Campbell, Reefense’s program manager at Darpa, says affordability doesn’t just make it more likely the Pentagon will employ the technology—but that civilians can, too.

“This isn’t something bespoke for the military … we need to be in line with those kinds of cost metrics [in the civilian sector],” Campbell said in an email. “And that gives it potential for commercialization.”

Hollywood Forever, formerly known as Hollywood Memorial Park (located at 6000 Santa Monica Blvd), famous for its Permanent Celebrity Residents, had become a desolate ruin, especially after being extensively damaged by the Northridge Earthquake in 1994. It became a horrific disgrace, displaying crumbling walls that exposed open crypts, broken glass, rotting wood (Coffins and Caskets?) and extensive water damage. There were also reports of the stench of decay. The chief architect of this scandal was Jules Roth, a con man, a liar and a thief who stole money from endowment funds and had a wetbar in his cemetery office. He cared nothing for the cemetery or its legendary clients. He forced the cemetery into bankruptcy and some people who were buried there, were exhumed by their surviving relatives and taken to another cemetery. Max Factor was one such person. The State of California brought the Owners up on charges and threatened the Cemetery with closure. However, in 1998 a man named Tyler Cassity bought the property for $375,000.00 and not only made repairs to the place, but also modernized it, bringing it into the 20th Century with the latest technology and gimmicks such as Living Memory, Interviews, Biographical Movies and Webcasts of Funeral Services! Hollywood Forever even has its own website now and can be found here.

And, of course, there are ghosts here. One day, a man was searching for a certain celebrity gravesite in the Abbey Of the Psalms Mausoleum. He asked a quaint looking, old gentleman whom he saw standing in the Foyer where the grave of this person was. The man gave directions. When the other turned around to thank the man, he was gone! He gave a description of the man to a Cemetery Employee and was told that it was Mr. Clifton Webb….who had died of a heart attack in 1966! The other ghost at Hollywood Forever is not one that you will see, but you might hear it. It has been said that if you wander near the grave of tragic starlet, Virginia Rappe, you might hear a ghostly weeping. She died at the tender age of 25 due to Generalized Peritonitis. However, because she had died after a wild party attended by comedic actor Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, it was thought she had been murdered. Arbuckle was charged with the murder. He was tried for the crime three times and acquitted each time. However, his career was irrevocably ruined. Rudolph Valentino, who died in 1926 of a ruptured appendix, a perforated ulcer and peritonitis is interred in the Cathedral Mausoleum. A grand tomb was planned for his final resting place and Valentino's body was placed in a temporary crypt until it could be built. Unfortunately, Rudy owed back taxes which set the building of the tomb back about three years. Then, another setback occurred on October 24, 1929. The Stock Market crashed and the world wide Depression began. The tomb was never built. Valentino still rests in that "temporary crypt" to this very day. It has been reported that his ghost has been seen walking thru the rear wall of the cemetery and onto the lot at Paramount Studios, where he has also been seen. According to eye witnesses, he looks around, seems confused and then walks back thru the wall and back into the cemetery. Perhaps his confusion stems from the passage of Time and the changes that have taken place in our world since then. He has also been seen at his former home, known as the Falcon's Lair. #Hollywood #Cemetery #HollywoodForever #Ghosts #Paranormal #Hauntings #Valentino #LosAngeles #LA #SoCal #California #Taphophile #Travels

Crazy Stories From Charleston's Past in South Carolina

Charleston is a city with a rich history, and there are many interesting stories from its past. Some of these are famous tales that everyone knows about, but some are lesser-known facts that few people know about. These stories showcase what makes Charleston such an incredible place.

A pirate who terrorized Charleston’s waters is buried in the churchyard of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church.

Five miles south of Charleston, you'll find the churchyard of St. Philip's Episcopal Church. It's a peaceful place, with a wooden gazebo overlooking the harbor and mangroves growing along its edges. But there's one grave that stands out from all others: that of Captain Edward Teach (AKA "Blackbeard").

Teach terrorized Charleston in 1718 by leading two ships into their waters, capturing several merchant ships before escaping through the harbor entrance after a battle with colonial forces led by Governor Charles Eden and Colonel William Rhett Jr. To commemorate this event and honor its heroes, Charles Towne Cemetery was established in 1750 on land purchased from local planters Isaac Motte and John Wragg; it was later renamed Magnolia Cemetery when it was moved northward into town sometime after the 1820s due to expansion demands from growing population numbers throughout South Carolina during this time period."

Slave rebellion scared Charlestonians.

The most famous slave rebellion in Charleston's history is the one led by Denmark Vesey, who was a free man of color. It was planned to take place on Bastille Day, July 14, 1822. The plan involved mass murder and arson that would have destroyed much of Charleston--but luckily for us all it was foiled by the betrayal of a slave named Tom who told his owner about it!

A tidal wave rolled over Charleston in June 1886.

In June 1886, a tidal wave rolled over Charleston.

The cause was a storm that hit the coast of South Carolina on June 22 and 23, 1886. It brought with it heavy rain and winds up to 90 miles per hour--and an unusual phenomenon: the city experienced two high tides during one day.

The effect on Charleston was devastating; thousands of buildings were destroyed by flooding and many more were damaged by wind or fire after being struck by lightning bolts from the storm's fierce winds. Around 25 people lost their lives during this natural disaster as well.*

How did they discover what caused this tidal wave? A scientific team set out to investigate what happened after receiving reports from witnesses who claimed they had seen waves several feet high coming ashore at nightfall when no storms were forecasted for days ahead (so there was no way any other cause could have been responsible). They found evidence showing how large amounts of water had flowed back into Charleston Harbor due "to some obstruction which prevented its escape through its normal channels."

No one knows who paid for the construction of the Washington Monument in Marion Square.

The Washington Monument is a monument to George Washington, the first president of the United States. It's located in Marion Square, which is located in downtown Charleston.

It was built in 1856 and designed by Robert Mills. No one knows who paid for it, though some speculate that it was paid for by the people of Charleston as a thank-you to General Washington for his service during The Revolutionary War when he helped them win their freedom from England.

Mold Removal Company in Charleston, West Virginia

A fire that started on a small island off Charleston brought the city to a standstill for several days in the mid-1800s.

In the mid-1800s, a fire started on Sullivan's Island and spread to other islands in Charleston Harbor. The fire caused great damage to the city and was finally extinguished after several days.

The cause of this massive blaze? Lightning!

Pirates used false lights to trick ships into running aground near Sullivan’s Island.

In the 17th century, pirates used false lights to trick ships into running aground. The ships were then looted and their crew's taken, prisoner.

Sullivan's Island was one of the most popular places for this practice because it had a shallow sandbar that allowed easy access from land, but could still be hidden from view by tall trees on either side of it.

Charleston has many interesting stories from its past

The city has many interesting stories from its past. Some of them are about pirates, slave rebellions, and tidal waves. Others show how the city has changed over time. These stories are not just for tourists; they can help you understand Charleston better as well!

In 1676, pirates attacked Charles Towne (the name Charleston was given when it became a British colony). They destroyed houses and ships belonging to settlers who were trying to make their lives here in this new land called South Carolina. It wasn't until 1718 that another attack occurred--this time by Spanish soldiers from St Augustine Florida who wanted revenge against England because King George had defeated them at sea earlier that year during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714).

Charleston is a place with a rich history, and these stories are just a few examples of the many adventures that have taken place in this city. If you're looking for more information about these events or others from Charleston's past, be sure to check out our website!

One storm, 95 lives lost, and a 500-mile trail of devastation. Now begins the difficult task of recovering from Helene.

Running low on supplies, without power, and with patience wearing thin, the people who survived the fury of the massive storm step into a new week. The task ahead? Rebuilding what was shattered. But some of the roads and bridges they need are gone. Electricity might not return for a week—maybe longer. Emergency services are spread thin. Neighbors, whose own homes are lost, are helping one another.

At least 95 people have died across six states, and officials fear the toll could rise. So far, North Carolina reports 36 dead, South Carolina 25, Georgia 17, Florida 11, Tennessee four, and Virginia two. Many more are still unaccounted for, possibly trapped, unable to reach family as communication lines remain in ruins.

Hundreds of roads, particularly in the Carolinas, remain closed, obstructing the delivery of critical supplies. More than 2 million customers are still without electricity, according to PowerOutage.us. Power companies are facing damaged and blocked roads as they work to restore service to homes and businesses.

President Joe Biden is set to visit some of the affected communities later this week, "as soon as it will not disrupt emergency response operations," the White House announced Sunday evening. On Monday morning, he will address the nation from the White House, outlining federal efforts to accelerate the delivery of resources to impacted areas. The president has approved disaster relief and has been in contact with governors from the hardest-hit states.

‘My heart is broken for our people here’ Amid the cleanup efforts, a Buncombe County resident shared with CNN that she has no power, running water, or cell phone reception.

Meredith Keisler, a school nurse, clutched firewood in her hands and said, “We’re collecting wood because we have a grill to make fire, to cook food.”

While Keisler feels fortunate to have some resources at home, she plans to volunteer at a shelter to help others. Reflecting on her surroundings, she added, “It’s incredible—the destruction. It’s really sad.”

About 20 miles east of Asheville, Krista Cortright told CNN that her boyfriend’s grandmother was stranded in Black Mountain due to flooding. The couple had to reach her because she had limited supplies and is diabetic.

Normally a 25-minute drive from Marion to the grandmother's house, the journey took them 2.5 hours on Sunday due to road closures.

“Things are even more devastating in person,” Cortright said. “Western North Carolina is going to take a very long time to recover, but I am so grateful we’re here and doing OK. My heart is broken for our people here.”

Infrastructure repairs must come before power restoration Michael Callahan, president of Duke Energy's utility operations in South Carolina, emphasized that infrastructure repairs are essential before power can be restored.

"The poles and wires that make up our transmission system have sustained unprecedented damage," Callahan said during a news conference.

Despite the extensive damage, the utility hopes to restore power to most customers in South Carolina by Friday, though Callahan clarified, "That doesn't mean your power will be out until Friday, unless you're in areas that are inaccessible or unable to take service."

As of Sunday night, approximately 760,000 homes and businesses in South Carolina were still without power, according to PowerOutage.us. Across Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia, over 1.2 million customers remain without electricity.

Hundreds still unaccounted for with communications down In Buncombe County, North Carolina, where at least 30 people have died, officials have received around 600 missing persons reports via an online form, County Manager Avril Pinder said Sunday.

Former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate urged people not to lose hope, explaining that communication outages do not necessarily indicate the worst. "Loved ones being unreachable doesn’t mean the worst has happened," he told CNN, expressing optimism that many will be reunited once cell service and internet are restored.

State telecommunications partners have enabled disaster roaming on all networks, allowing any phone to access any available network for calls, according to North Carolina Emergency Management Director William Ray.

Fugate also noted that the high number of unaccounted-for individuals is often due to communication breakdowns, saying, "Although we know we have lost lives, many people remain missing due to lack of communication."

The governor addressed reports of around 1,000 missing individuals, stating, "We've received about 1,000 calls, but we don’t know the outcomes of all those calls yet." He added that many are likely safe but are without phone or internet service. However, he warned that the death toll could rise. "We expect to see more fatalities as search and rescue operations continue," he said.

President Biden promises federal aid and plans visit President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit storm-impacted communities later this week, the White House announced on Sunday.

On Sunday, Biden spoke with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, and other officials in Tennessee, Florida, and South Carolina. He was also briefed by FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell and Homeland Security Adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall on recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene. Criswell visited Georgia on Sunday and is expected to visit North Carolina on Monday.

Biden monitored recovery efforts from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, over the weekend. He previously issued pre-landfall emergency declarations for Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama, followed by declarations for Tennessee and Virginia.

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday offered his condolences to those impacted by Hurricane Helene, the strongest storm on record to hit Florida’s Big Bend region.

"Before we begin, I want to send my love and prayers to the families of those who have tragically lost their lives—a lot of death—and to everyone displaced and suffering in the wake of this devastating hurricane, especially in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and particularly western North Carolina, which took a tremendous hit," Trump said during a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania.

"It's been absolutely devastated, and God be with you all. This was a rough one—a monster hurricane that hit much harder than anyone thought possible. We want to extend our best wishes to everyone affected."

More rain possible in storm-damaged areas The remnants of Helene continue to bring rain to parts of the mid-Atlantic. The heaviest rainfall is expected in central Virginia and eastern West Virginia, where flood watches remain in effect through the overnight hours, expiring Monday at 6 a.m. ET. Rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour and totals of 1-3 inches are possible, according to the Weather Prediction Center.

An upper-level low-pressure system will remain nearly stationary over eastern Kentucky on Monday, potentially bringing more heavy showers to the region, including Virginia and West Virginia, the National Weather Service in Baltimore reported. Although most of the showers are expected to be light, any additional rainfall complicates cleanup efforts for those affected by Helene’s destruction.

Around 90 river gauges along Helene’s path are still reporting flood conditions, with about 20 of them at moderate or major flood stage. Regardless of new rainfall, it will take days for some river levels to drop below flood stage. Some rivers downstream from the heaviest rainfall may not crest until later this week, or even into the weekend.

Helene unleashed "staggering" amounts of rain, including 12 to 14 inches in South Carolina, 12 to 16 inches in Florida, and 12 to 14 inches in Georgia, according to Ken Graham, director of the National Weather Service.

People are getting by by sharing resources, even the air they breathe.

In many communities, including Asheville, North Carolina, a major concern is access to fresh water. One of the city’s water plants is down, and significant damage to the water pipes has left many residents without a reliable supply. Mayor Esther Manheimer urged patience and caution.

"We don’t want people to assume things will be fixed quickly; this is a long-term issue," Manheimer told CNN affiliate WLOS. "People need to have water for drinking, flushing toilets, and other necessities. Don’t expect this to be resolved anytime soon."

Michelle Coleman, the executive director of the Asheville Dream Center, shared with CNN how severe the situation has become.

"This is the most devastating thing I’ve ever seen in our city," Coleman said.

She described the community’s efforts to come together, delivering water, diapers, and other necessities to those in need, including a family with a five-day-old baby.

"Our prayer is that people don’t lose hope because this community is coming together. Asheville is strong," she added.

Gary O’Dell, a disabled Vietnam War veteran, has been sharing his oxygen tank with a neighbor.

"My next-door neighbor ran out of oxygen. He’s in worse shape than I am," O'Dell said. "That’s the problem—I’ve got lung cancer now, too. You don’t realize how vital oxygen is until you’re without it."
