Death toll for Hurricane Helene surpasses 100

Показать описание

Desperate residents isolated by washed-out roads and the lack of power and cellular service in western North Carolina lined up Monday for fresh water and a chance to message loved ones that they were alive, days after Hurricane Helene tore through the Southeastern U.S. and killed more than 100 people.

Government officials and aid groups were working to bring basic supplies by airlift, truck and mule to the hard-hit tourism hub of Asheville and its surrounding mountain towns.

At least 121 deaths in six states have been attributed to the storm — a toll that climbed Monday as a clearer picture emerged of the devastation it inflicted on an area stretching from Florida’s Gulf Coast northward to the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. The North Carolina county that includes Asheville reported at least 35 deaths, while dozens were also killed in Georgia and South Carolina.

This is something that is so hard to come back from. I'm à Hurricane Katrina survivor, so I'm feeling their pain. My heart breaks for the families of those who, ve lost their loved ones and everything they've worked their whole lives for. Prayers go out to you all 🙏🙏💖💔.

Almost all of western NC is GONE! It's like a zombie apocalypse. NO food, NO running water, NO power, NO phone service! People are stranded and dying. Where is the North Carolina national guard?? Where are the helicopters and trucks to get people aid, or get them out of there?? FEMA should be there. This is even WORSE than Hurricane Katrina down in Florida! Worthless governor Roy Cooper hasn't done squat. I would have diverted all resources to help western NC. This is more than a disgrace, this is horrible!
