North Carolina Towns Struggling With Helene's Flood Aftermath

As the search for victims of Hurricane Helene enters its second week, the death toll continues to rise. Over 220 people have lost their lives across six states, with North Carolina bearing the brunt of the devastation. The lack of phone service and electricity in the region hampers efforts to locate missing individuals.

We can send jets, ships, weapons across the the world but we still have problems sending help to Americans in a faster responsible way

The people are trapped and can’t get to the places where they are distributing the supplies. There are some people that they haven’t even been able to get to yet.

A woman said in a hospital they had 900 bodies.

I am a survivor of multiple hurricanes, Katrina my worst. The first 3 days after a storm are critical.
You are always on your own at first. I pray for these people. But, most of these victims were not expecting such conditions. Let's pray!

My heart breaks for all the ppl who are affected by this storm 💔 😢 I'm so thankful several ppl from my church are headed to Western N.C. to help and bring supplies.

Bryson city is struggling really bad right now. Staying in a hotel no where to go no shelter and elderly people and veterans.

This is now the 2nd deadliest in USA 🇺🇸 hurricane since 2000.

This is what PR experienced with FEMA in 2017 and nobody cared. The federal money was never used. People are still suffering and nobody has answers.

*Remember this on Election Day!* BILLIONS for Ukraine, MILLIONS for illegal immigrants ... Maybe $750.00 for U.S. families who lost everything due to this hurricane & little to nothing for East Palestine, Ohio train wreck.

This is a National disaster, not just a natural disaster.

Lets talke about the lithium mine the government wants in that devastated area.

The Governor should be leading the efforts….just look at the Governor in Florida…he’s been leading the clean up personally, even working the food lines serving his people food. I don’t know what his other politics are but in this emergency he’s standing out as a great leader.

Prayers for everyone effected by hurricane Helene. Such a tragedy. 😔😔❤

[Sbxallday]

Fema said they don't have it. Good luck everybody.

[BrendaHall-fy]

God bless and protect all the people affected in this devastation.

Why is FEMA turning away help?? Why are these people threatening to arrest those who come to help?? Why are these resources not being redistributed as they promised???

[sar]

If you are outside the area, you know what is going on. It is unconscionable that state and national govt with resources did not responded within hours. 6 days. WoW! I am ashamed to be an American right now.

[dsuggs]

Seems like a double standard in this country 😔

[andrewh]

US has sent billions to Ukraine. Let’s see what they do to help their own people. I live about 20 min from where this video was shot. I have seen very little gov aid to this point

Ignore Fema and please help those trapped by the damage
