In the Southeast United States, Hurricane Helene Leaves over 100 Dead and Several Missing

On Monday, North Carolina emergency personnel were rushing to locate those who had not been accounted for for the past three days after Hurricane Helene devastated the Southeast, killing over 100 people, cutting off communications, and leaving millions without electricity.

There was still no cellular service in wide areas of Ohio, the Carolinas, and Florida. The website Poweroutage.us reports that at sunrise on Monday, almost 2.1 million homes and businesses were without electricity.

In an interview with CNN on Monday, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper stated, “The lack of communication is concerning.” Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who are missing and we anticipate that there will be many fatalities in the end.

On Thursday night, Helene made landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast, bringing with her days of torrential rain and the destruction of homes that had stood for many years. As it travelled north, it destroyed homes, wiped out roads, and left many villages without access to essential supplies like water.

The county sheriff of Buncombe County, North Carolina, which encompasses the city of Asheville, stated that at least thirty people had died there. According to a Reuters analysis of state and municipal estimates, the total death toll was close to 100 in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia, and it was probably going to go higher.
