Games Done Quick is holding a special Disaster Relief Done Quick speedrunning event next week to raise funds for aid to people impacted by Hurricane Helene, a category 4 storm that devastated entire communities and left more than 200 people dead across multiple US states.
Hurricane Helene made landfall on the Florida coast on September 26, but the US National Weather Service says its greatest impacts were felt "across the southern Appalachians where widespread severe and unprecedented flooding occurred with hundreds of fatalities and billions in property damage. Strong wind gusts damaged property and blew trees and power lines down in a swath from the Gulf Coast to the North Carolina mountains." The death toll is expected to continue to rise: An MSNBC report says at least 215 have been confirmed killed, and hundreds more remain missing.
