Hurricane Helene has resulted in at least 135 fatalities and widespread destruction across the Southeast, with North Carolina and Florida bearing the brunt of the devastation. Rescue operations are ongoing, with hundreds of roads still inaccessible and communication systems severely disrupted, leaving approximately 600 individuals unaccounted for, according to President Biden. Search and rescue personnel, including over 3,300 federal workers, are deployed to assist in recovery efforts, which are complicated by significant flooding and mudslides. In Florida, areas like Keaton Beach have reported 90% of homes destroyed due to storm surge and strong winds. The storm's impact has been described as unprecedented, with North Carolina's Governor Roy Cooper stating it requires an unprecedented response. Meanwhile, the federal and local governments are mobilizing resources to provide essential supplies to affected communities.
