Hurricane Helene, large, catastrophic tropical cyclone notable for its rapid intensification that ultimately produced a wide swath of damage and loss of life that extended from northwestern Florida, where the storm made landfall on September 26, 2024, to Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. Helene’s high winds and flooding killed more than 230 people, making it the deadliest hurricane to strike the U.S. since Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico in 2017. Some estimates put the economic impact of the storm, including property and infrastructure damage, as high as $200 billion, which would make Helene the costliest storm in U.S. history. Helene’s metamorphosis from an area of scattered thunderstorms and rain to a category 4 hurricane in the span of a little more than two days was fueled by abnormally warm waters in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, which meteorologists have attributed to global warming.

Pinus palustris has active constituents such as terpenes, flavonoids, and phenolic acids.

These constituents are responsible for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. The terpenes have been shown to improve respiratory health by reducing inflammation in the airways, providing relief for those suffering from asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Additionally, the antioxidants in longleaf pine may help protect against cellular damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
