    Helene very likely did this too, though scientists have been unable to retrieve some of the latest data on sea-surface temperatures because Helene knocked out a key federal facility, the National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, N.C.

    Reminds me of that great Simpsons moment:

    “Oh Lisa, there’s no record of a hurricane ever hitting Springfield.”

    “Yes, but the records only go back to 1978 when the hall of records was mysteriously blown away!”

    (Aired back in '96.)
