From the WashPost: Thousands of uninsured homes were in Helene’s path.
The United States’ crumbling flood insurance system faces a new test after Hurricane Helene.

“On average, just a tiny fraction of households in the inland counties hit hardest by Hurricane Helene and its remnants had flood insurance, according to a Washington Post analysis of recent data from the National Flood Insurance Program. Across seven affected states, only 0.8 percent of homes in inland counties affected by the storm had flood insurance. By contrast, 21 percent of homes in coastal counties in those areas had coverage.”
