Hurricane Helene has left a trail of death and destruction in its wake, with the death toll now reaching at least 166 in the Carolinas. President Joe Biden is set to visit the ravaged states on Wednesday to survey the devastation firsthand, as rescuers continue their search for those still unaccounted for.
The aftermath of the hurricane has left many residents without basic necessities such as running water, cellular service, and electricity. Floodwaters are receding, revealing the full extent of the damage caused by Helene and the challenges faced by those affected.
The catastrophic impact of Hurricane Helene serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power of natural disasters and the importance of preparedness and resilience in the face of such events. The road to recovery for the Carolinas will undoubtedly be long and difficult, but with the support of the federal government and communities coming together, they will rebuild and recover from this tragedy.
