When Hurricane Helene hit the Carolinas, it left a path of destruction caused by wind, rain and flooding. Clint Basinger was one of many who had the misfortune of having the storm drop a tree through his Asheville, North Carolina, home. Clint is a YouTuber known to millions as LGR. His videos cover retro tech, PC gaming and more. When the tree hit his home, it sent debris and rain not only into his home residence, but also through the vintage technology collection he uses to make his living. Over the past months, Clint has been documenting his recovery for his YouTube viewers. Today, he talks with the Carolina Weather Group podcast about the impact the storm has had on him, what it has taken to get back on his feet and when he thinks he might finally be able to return home.

In this emotional and informative episode of the Carolina Weather Group, we examine the devastating flash flooding disasters that unfolded in early July 2025 in both Texas and the Carolinas. With over 100 confirmed fatalities in Texas and more than 150 missing, meteorologists and scientists recount the harrowing moments and explain how a stalled storm system overwhelmed Kerrville and surrounding areas. We also discuss Tropical Storm Chantal’s impact on the Carolinas, where unprecedented rainfall led to a 1-in-1,000-year flooding event. This conversation unpacks the science behind the flooding, the role of climate change, and the urgent need for improved flood response systems. Our guests: Troy Kimmel, a meteorologist in Austin, Texas with experience in emergency response. He's also a panelist on the WeatherBrains podcast. Dr. Kristina Dahl, Climate Central’s Vice President for Science Jordan McLeod, our former panelist, formerly of the Southeast Regional Climate Center 📌 Topics include: Why Texas Hill Country is prone to deadly flooding How climate change is fueling more intense and inland rain events Emotional stories from first responders and weather professionals The future of flood mitigation and disaster preparedness 🛰 Stay informed.
