The number of storm-related deaths climbed past 100 across the Southeast on Sunday, as authorities rushed to airdrop supplies, restore power and clear roads after massive rains from the powerful Helene left people stranded and without shelter.

Helene has left at least 116 people dead, CBS News has confirmed, and caused widespread destruction and knocked out power to several million people. Thirty fatalities were reported in Buncombe County, in North Carolina, one of the states that was hardest hit by the storm.

The storm crashed ashore in Florida's Big Bend area on Thursday night as a dangerous Category 4 storm. Helene was the third hurricane to hit the Big Bend region in the last 13 months.

From there, it quickly moved through Georgia, where Gov. Brian Kemp said Saturday that it "looks like a bomb went off" after seeing splintered homes and debris-covered highways from the air.

Weakened, Helene then soaked the Carolinas and Tennessee with torrential rains, sending creeks and rivers over their banks and straining dams.

My heart breaks for all the victims. My biggest concern for them is not what the government/FEMA will or won’t do for them, but the way in which insurance companies are screwing over people who have paid homeowners’ insurance. For the most part, insurance is a huge scam.

Some of the people reported missing were in their homes and the homes are completely gone. There is video of SAR pulling a man out of his window with two feet of water and debris coming out of the window with him. This was in Chimney Rock NC.

200 miles. That's my rule. I need to be at least 200 miles away from any hurricane. Cat 5, cat 1.. doesn't matter.

Several stretches of coast in the United States will become uninhabitable in the future.

What kind of storm that scares me the most, is what is called "that ground rain" 😆 standing out there in the ocean, waiting for something heavy to hit it, 😆 so it can rise up and flood the earth.😂. Please forgive me. But the thought just crossed my mind. I still respect all of the people who lost their lives during the storm. And to all of the families. Deepest condolences. 😢 Sorry for what you all will have to endure. 😢

Big mistake to use cell phone to document insurance losses, no cell service, no cloud storage, phone gets damaged, insurance company denies claim! been there done that. digital camera with back up only way to be safe.

Don't build near water

Elevation is extremely important.

I don’t understand why there are any deaths! There was warning several days before it hit landfall and the people were told to evacuate ! So why didn’t they evacuate ?

So what about reports that there are so many bodies floating in the streets of Asheville you can smell the stench apparently everywhere? Any truth to that?
