NC picking up the pieces after staggering blow from Helene: Live updates

N Carolina hit hard by HeleneAbout 2.3 million people remained without power Sunday across the Southeast in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, including more than 460,000 in North Carolina, where the storm pulverized homes, trapped residents, spawned landslides and submerged communities under raging floodwaters.

Nearly 70 people have died across multiple states since the record-breaking storm hit Florida's Big Bend as a Category 4 hurricane with 140-mph winds Thursday, before moving north through Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas and weakening to a post-tropical cyclone.

On Sunday, North Carolina officials were still trying to grasp the level of devastation. Gov. Roy Cooper said at a news conference that at least 11 people died in the devastated state, "and tragically we know there will be more."

U.S. News Residents told to evacuate or take shelter after Georgia chemical plant fire

chemical plant fire near Atlantachemical dire near AtlantaSome residents east of Atlanta were evacuated while others were told to shelter in place to avoid contact with a chemical plume after a fire at a chemical plant.

Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel told reporters that a sprinkler head malfunctioned around 5 a.m. Sunday at the BioLab plant in Conyers. That caused water to mix with a water-reactive chemical, which produced a plume of chemicals. The chief said she wasn’t sure what chemicals were included.

A small roof fire was initially contained, but reignited Sunday afternoon, Sheriff Eric Levett said in a video posted on Facebook as gray smoke billowed into the sky behind him. He said authorities were trying to get the fire under control and urged people to stay away from the area.

At least 50 dead and millions without power after Helene devastates south-eastern US

50 dead, millions without power

More than 50 people are confirmed dead and almost 3.5 million are without power on Saturday, after strong winds and torrential rain from Hurricane Helene wreaked unprecedented havoc across large swathes of the south-eastern United States.

Historic flooding continued over parts of the southern Appalachians on Saturday, as first responders worked to reach stranded communities in trying conditions while local authorities began to assess the scale of the damage and displacement.

“It looks like a bomb went off,” said Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, after surveying the damage from the air on Saturday.

“To say this caught us off-guard would be an understatement,” said Quentin Miller, sheriff of Buncombe county, North Carolina, where part of Asheville is underwater and multiple cell towers remain down, hampering rescue and recovery efforts. Emergency services have declined to confirm the number of fatalities in the county until communication outages can be restored and next of kin informed.

Brothers Who Spent 25 Years In Prison For Woman's Murder Exonerated

Brothers exonerated after 25 yearsTwo Wisconsin brothers who spent the last 25 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of killing a woman in 1987 have been released after DNA evidence tied the murder to another suspect, The Wisconsin Innocence Project announced Friday.

David Bintz, 69, and his younger brother, Robert Bintz, 68 were sentenced to life in prison in 2000, after prosecutors say they killed Sandra Lison, 44, a mother of two, the Green Bay Press Gazette reports.

Lison’s body was found near a trail in the Machickanee Forest about 30 miles from Green Bay on Aug. 4, 1987, according to Robert Bintz’s motion to vacate. Detectives noticed Lison’s slip and nylons had been removed and most of the buttons on her dress were undone, and they determined she had been beaten, strangled, and sexually assaulted.

Alabama Inmate Took Nearly 10 Minutes To Die During Nitrogen Gas Execution

Alan Eugene Miller executedAn Alabama inmate who was the second person in the nation to be executed using nitrogen gas appeared to suffer for nearly 10 minutes before he died, according to multiple reports.

Alan Eugene Miller, 59, was executed Thursday evening after he was convicted of killing three men in 1999.

Miller, who was strapped to a gurney with a gas mask covering his face, pulled at his restraints and trembled for about two minutes, at times rocking the gurney, according to reporters who witnessed the execution. For six more minutes, Miller gasped for air before finally becoming still.

It’s the second execution in the U.S. to use nitrogen gas; the first also took place in Alabama.

TVNL Question: Why is it illegal for an ordinary individual to take a life, but it is perfectly legal for the state to do the same thing? Just asking.

Styrene leak near Cincinnati is yet another toxic chemical spill in Ohio. Here are more

chemical spillsOhioans have been forced from their homes in Southwest Ohio this week as a train car carrying a toxic chemical developed a leak.

It's another in a series of chemical leaks in Ohio and surrounding states, endangering communities and their residents.

Here's a look at a few of them.

The most recent leak, a railcar at a train yard in Cleves, west of Cincinnati, that was carrying styrene, a toxic and flammable chemical, developed a leak on Tuesday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Residents of about 210 homes within a half-mile of the leak were ordered to evacuate, and several schools were closed on Wednesday.

By Wednesday morning, the railcar had stopped leaking, officials say, but evacuation and shelter-in-place orders were still in effect over air quality concerns.
