Helene, a Category 4 hurricane, became devastating far inland due to moist, hot soils that energized the storm, a concern for future extreme weather.
Dev Niyogi emphasizes that the wet and hot soil conditions prime the land to actually increase a storm's energy, as seen in Hurricane Helene's aftermath.
After its landfall in Florida, Helene continued hundreds of miles inland, causing unprecedented rainfall and flooding, thereby raising concerns about the changing patterns of hurricanes.
Helene's impact is compared to Katrina's, highlighting its significance in meteorological studies, showcasing its ability to unleash so much rain away from coastal areas.
