More than 100 dead, 600 still missing after Hurricane Helene

A crisis unfolded in western North Carolina as officials rushed to get more water, food and other supplies to flood-stricken areas without power and cellular service Monday, three days after Hurricane Helene ripped across the U.S. Southeast. The death toll from the storm reached the triple digits.
At least 107 people in six states were killed. A North Carolina county that includes the mountain city of Asheville reported 30 people killed. Georgia's death count was raised Monday from 17 to 25.

How do you even begin to rebuild & cleanup from all that destruction?!!!

2024 and people still dying to these ?😂 you had warnings in advance 😂

[@oliviagibbons648]

I know you’re just trolling so I don’t want to engage but what a callous comment. For coastal Florida, sure they have warning and hurricanes are to be expected. There are also people who do not have or feel they do not have anywhere to go. For these inland towns and cities in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, parts of more rural Georgia, parts of Virginia, etc this is not a common occurrence or accepted part of daily life. In NC roads are completely gone, landslides and flash floods occur quickly. You don’t get much warning, at all.

@oliviagibbons648 @oliviagibbons648 nowhere to go? There's many places to go..maybe go to the nearest police station, hospital etc before all this happens...im sure they will help you to get to a safe location...the people that feel like they don't need to go nowhere...well..thats on them,it's common sense..Deadly Hurricane incoming= get to safety ...sorry for being a realist🫤 I understand there's also elderly that don't have much mobility and can't do stuff on their own, those are the only people I do feel bad for in situations like this! But come on! Over 100 dead And 600 missing? Can't FEMA or Red cross get everyone prepped? Go door to door and look for elderly/families that might need help?

Takes 5 years to get supplies needed to rebuild these areas, they will be abandoned do to the costs skyrocketing...

Keaton Beach is on the coastline of a wide crescent of swamp and marshland which the ocean is slowly reclaiming.
