helene

Ravel: Music For Four Hands with Louis Lortie and Helene Mercier is worth a good ear.

What saved us from a news deficit after Helene was that we had 2 portable AM/FM radios.

Hunterbrook did a great piece about this after Hurricane Helene last year.

I built this repo as a Helene response repo, trying to use an llm to help get resources over text message.

During Helene I had to drive 80+ miles from the Clemson, SC area through to Asheville to bail out my sister-in-law and her husband and their two month old stranded in Asheville.

For Hurricane Helene specifically, my team at Newspack actually worked with Blue Ridge Public Radio and a number of other news organizations in the affected area to set up text versions of their websites for low bandwidth readers[1] and get info to 10s of thousands of people[2].

Not Helene for me, but another ISP frustration anecdote from living in a forested area (line damage from tree limbs is common enough) with imperfect cellular data connection: - the Comcast Xfinity app is extremely bloated and runs into error after error on a poor connection, yet the only time I ever use it is when I have connection problems.

I remember when Helene and Milton hit I was incredibly worried but afterwards the worst "damage" to the property was their outdoor garden didn't survive.

I remember when I was young there was a French teenage-sitcom, "Helene", which my mother would watch because her students watched it religiously (she was a language teacher).

»You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge« There is a reason why Elisabeth Selbert, Helene Weber, Frieda Nadig, and Helene Wessel had to fight in the Parliamentary Council of 1948–49 to add the phrase “Men and women have equal rights” to the constitution despite initial resistance.

That's more than I can say about Helene, where there was at least one fatality due to traffic light outages.

Yeah I had neighbors who despite the fact that they had solar, couldn’t use them when we lost power last year for Helene.
