My family & I are safe, however cell service, wifi, power & water are non-existent or severely limited. It really is devastating here in WNC. Our community needs critical emergency cell infrastructure & supplies. We cannot receive emails, load websites, plz communicate via text.

Some have called the 1916 Western North Carolina flood "the flood to end all floods."

Today, emergency management officials are warning that Helene could bring similar floods to Asheville and surrounding areas.

What a warning for those in the southern Appalachains. #Helene

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

For context re: southern Appalachian flooding

Asheville, NC has already had a 1,000 year return interval rainfall event over the past day...before #Helen gets there

[NCICS @NCState_NCICS]

Congratulations to @MagSugg, NCICS's Jennifer Runkle and @douglas_rao, and other researchers on receiving funding for important research on the effects of #climate change on the mental health of young people. A key goal is to inform improved response strategies.

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (https://t.co/gNIbWRdqEj), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

🔥There is a new version of the causalweight package for R (#rstats)! It now also contains #DifferenceInDifference estimators for binary and continuous treatments using causal #MachineLearning (to control for covariates in a data-driven way):

If Republican leaders don't enjoy being called weird, creepy, and controlling, they could try not being weird, creepy, and controlling.

@EHPonline The more temperatures rose, the more pregnant women were admitted to the hospital for psychiatric issues. For example, a 9°F rise in temperature was associated with a 7–15% increase in the number of emergency department visits by pregnant patients.
