Impacted by Hurricane Helene:​

Storm damage closes N.C. factory that makes vital hospital supplies​

Oregon hospital told only 40% of order will be filled - only one example of nationwide impact.

Yup, I was told this in the ER Monday night. Fortunately, I only needed IV fluids during my actual surgery on Friday. They did say they were giving me not quite as much as they usually would - just barely enough to keep the vein open. Strange how a far-away event can effect the here and now.

I posted this so people would understand that when something happens in the east it can have serious impacts for persons in the west and vice verse.
Ive traveled all over the world in my life and not simple tourist trips as well as vehicle living from coast to coast in the US and have a good grasp of how “chaos theory” worx.

Many people think, oh hell thats way over there but seeming non-effecting events can have serious impacts & far reaching influence thousands of miles away.
