Hurricane Helene Kills Over 130 in Southeast

Hurricane Helene has caused widespread devastation across the southeastern United States, leading to over 130 deaths and leaving millions without power. North Carolina, one of the hardest-hit areas, is coordinating extensive search and rescue operations with aid from multiple states and federal agencies to reach isolated communities. Emergency workers have delivered essential supplies like water and food, and various organizations, including God's Pit Crew and Comeback Coolers, have mobilized to provide additional relief. President Joe Biden plans to visit North Carolina to assess the damage and ensure federal support continues. The storm has severely disrupted infrastructure, making communication and transportation difficult, and further complicating rescue and recovery efforts.
