Last update: 6 hours agoNor’easter Watch: A powerful nor’easter is strengthening off the East Coast, with coastal flood and high-wind warnings stretching from North Carolina up through New England.

Storm Recovery in WNC: Two years after Hurricane Helene, NC DEQ says it has pushed more than $1 billion in grants and loans for water and wastewater repairs, high-hazard dam work, flood resiliency, recycling upgrades, debris removal, and solar/battery microgrids—plus well testing and getting water systems back online. Wildlife & Water Impacts: The NC Wildlife Resources Commission is delaying fall delayed-harvest trout stocking after unusually hot summer water temperatures and drought conditions cut hatchery supplies. Neuse River Fish Kill: Sound Rivers is tracking lingering effects of a major fish kill on the Neuse River near New Bern, warning that low-oxygen conditions could trigger more kills if conditions shift. Green Infrastructure in Schools: Volunteers with Cummins and Sound Rivers restored rain gardens at Nash County high schools, planting native species to capture and filter stormwater runoff.
