Hurricane Helene Aftermath – One Year Later

The area residents return to their homes and reopen their businesses even though recovery will last for a number of years. Hurricane Helene is a deadly Atlantic hurricane that causes widespread catastrophic damage and numerous fatalities across the Southeastern United States in September 2024. The lake water level is allowed to rise naturally, but is still more than 22 feet (7 meters) low. (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto) -

'My friends call me the BlackBerry queen!' Meet the people clinging on to old tech - from faxes to VCRs.
You can keep your iPhones, emails and streaming videos. Aren from London, Lisa from St Louis and Billy from Wigan are quite happy with old-fashioned alternatives. And there are plenty more where they came from.
'When you play on Atari, the focus is completely on the game'
Neil Thomas, 42, Cotswolds, museum owner.
I got my Atari VCS games console in 1985 when it was handed down to me by a family member. I loved playing on it as a child. My favourite game was River Raid, where you'd fly a plane down a river, shooting at things. Just over a decade ago, I found the console in the attic and began to use it again. The main attraction is that the game is instantly there on the screen - there's no waiting for downloads, as you do with modern consoles. I also feel the gameplay is really good on the older consoles. Without flashy graphics, the focus is completely on the game itself.
Over the years, I have begun to collect more old consoles and computers, and in 2017 I even set up a website and YouTube channel for other retro tech enthusiasts.

I also feel the gameplay is really good on the older consoles. Without flashy graphics, the focus is completely on the game itself.
Over the years, I have begun to collect more old consoles and computers, and in 2017 I even set up a website and YouTube channel for other retro tech enthusiasts.

'My friends call me the BlackBerry queen!' Meet the people clinging on to old tech - from faxes to VCRs.

I got my Atari VCS games console in 1985 when it was handed down to me by a family member. I loved playing on it as a child. My favourite game was River Raid, where you'd fly a plane down a river, shooting at things. Just over a decade ago, I found the console in the attic and began to use it again.

FEATURE - Das 12-Pfund-Geschenk eines Vaters für seine Tochter, eine Louis Vuitton-Truhe, wurde für 7300 Pfund versteigert
A father’s £12 gift for his daughter, a Louis Vuitton trunk he bought for her flat in 1984, has sold for £7,300 at auction.
The 38-year-old gift sold for such a “surreal” sum because it happened to be an antique Louis Vuitton steamer trunk. It went under the hammer at Hansons London (July 30 2022) and soared to £7,300. With buyer’s premium, the total paid by a UK buyer was £9,490.
The seller was so stunned as she watched the drama unfold live online, she couldn’t keep her mobile phone steady as she tried to capture the moment on video.
Melissa, 56, an estates officer from Middlesex, said: “It was definitely a wow moment! It was very surreal and nerve-racking to watch. I was trying to video the laptop screen for my husband who was working but it was difficult to concentrate on keeping the phone steady.
“It was a fantastic result. I’m really happy that the trunk's journey is now going to continue and that it will be appreciated and looked after for many years to come. A big thank you to everyone at Hansons for all their help. Definitely an experience for the memory bank.”
Chris Kirkham, associate director of Hansons London, said: “We’re thrilled for Melissa. The trunk exceeded expectations and sold for an eye-popping amount. What a return on £12! Louis Vuitton is a name forever aligned with quality but this trunk is more than that. It is an historical object demonstrating Vuitton’s design ingenuity and the style of luxury luggage in the early 1900s.”
Melissa, the trunk’s careful owner for nearly 40 years, only parted with the family treasure to protect it from her cats. “We foster cats and I have to keep the trunk covered up all the time to stop them using it as scratching post.
“My dad bought the trunk in 1984 from an old bric-a-brac/antiques shop in the village of St Margarets, near Twickenham in London where we used to live. He got a job up north but I didn’t want to go. He bought me the trunk as there was a lack of storage in

The 38-year-old gift sold for such a “surreal” sum because it happened to be an antique Louis Vuitton steamer trunk. It went under the hammer at Hansons London (July 30 2022) and soared to £7,300. With buyer’s premium, the total paid by a UK buyer was £9,490.
The seller was so stunned as she watched the drama unfold live online, she couldn’t keep her mobile phone steady as she tried to capture the moment on video.
Melissa, 56, an estates officer from Middlesex, said: “It was definitely a wow moment! It was very surreal and nerve-racking to watch. I was trying to video the laptop screen for my husband who was working but it was difficult to concentrate on keeping the phone steady.
“It was a fantastic result. I’m really happy that the trunk's journey is now going to continue and that it will be appreciated and looked after for many years to come. A big thank you to everyone at Hansons for all their help. Definitely an experience for the memory bank.”
Chris Kirkham, associate director of Hansons London, said: “We’re thrilled for Melissa. The trunk exceeded expectations and sold for an eye-popping amount. What a return on £12! Louis Vuitton is a name forever aligned with quality but this trunk is more than that. It is an historical object demonstrating Vuitton’s design ingenuity and the style of luxury luggage in the early 1900s.”
Melissa, the trunk’s careful owner for nearly 40 years, only parted with the family treasure to protect it from her cats. “We foster cats and I have to keep the trunk covered up all the time to stop them using it as scratching post.
“My dad bought the trunk in 1984 from an old bric-a-brac/antiques shop in the village of St Margarets, near Twickenham in London where we used to live. He got a job up north but I didn’t want to go. He bought me the trunk as there was a lack of storage in
