Hurricane Helene Leaves a Trail of Destruction Across the Southeastern U.S.

Hurricane Helene has caused catastrophic damage and significant loss of life, particularly in North Carolina, where the death toll is nearing 100. Communities are grappling with severe flooding and landslides, isolating many areas. Rescue missions are ongoing, with reports indicating that over 1.1 million customers have been left without power. In Buncombe County alone, at least 30 fatalities have been confirmed. As roads collapsed and power outages persisted, North Carolina’s Governor described the situation as an 'unprecedented tragedy' that demands a coordinated response. Images of devastation, including aerial views of submerged towns, illustrate the far-reaching impact of Helene, which disrupted lives and destroyed homes across multiple states. Relief efforts are being mobilized, with supplies rushed to affected regions as communities begin the long road to recovery.
