Join the Carolina Weather Group as we celebrate the first 500 episodes of our podcast. We're back on-location at the Insurance Institute of Home and Business Safety in Richburg, South Carolina  @IBHS_org .

More than a month after Helene, recovery efforts continue in western North Carolina.

When it comes to the chances another Helene-like storm could hit the Carolinas in the future, it's really a matter of when and not if. Could it be in another 100 years? Another 500 years? Another 1,000 years? Or could a changing climate dramatically increase the reoccurrence of these events?

When Hurricane Helene flooded the mountains of western North Carolina causing widespread power outages, destruction and evacuations, the nation's weather archives went offline.

That's because the data lives in Asheville, North Carolina at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, where the government archives and backups more than 60 petabytes of historical weather data.

In just the past week, as Helene relief efforts continue across the region, NCEI has been able to return products and services to online status. While many data products continue to be updated as a result of the outage caused by Hurricane Helene, the center says they're most grateful all of their employees and staff have been accounted for. Additionally, all data holdings –including paper and film records– were unharmed in the storm.

This week on the Carolina Weather Group, NCEI's Jared Rennie returns to the show to discuss the restoration of services, his experience with Helene and the remaining needs of his community in the aftermath of the storm.
