Hurricane Helene hit a quartz mine in North Carolina that is key to global semiconductor production, which could impact the entire tech industry. Here is everything we know so far

Quartz mining suspension in the wake of the storm leads to potential supply chain disruptions and price surges in the automotive industry.

The devastation in North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene could have serious implications for a niche — but extremely important — corner of the tech industry.

Many areas in North Carolina were hit hard by Hurricane Helene, including Spruce Pine, an area crucial to the semiconductor industry.

Downpours at Spruce Pine, North Carolina, have taken the biggest known deposit of high-purity quartz offline, leaving the global tech supply chain potentially starved of an ingredient vital for making microchips.

Operations at two critical North Carolina facilities that mine high-purity quartz, remain suspended following the impact of Hurricane Helene.

These are the 10 deadliest hurricanes to strike the United States before Helene and since 1954, when forecasters began issuing routine hurricane forecasts.

Hurricane Helene demolished the notion there are places on Earth immune from climate change — an already shaky premise that was further discredited by widespread d

Hurricane Helene is a significant human tragedy with more than 200 deaths reported as of Oct. 4. Thousands more have been left homeless, with North Carolina hit particularly hard. And the property damage will be difficult for the thousands of homeowners to manage without adequate flood insurance.
