    The number of deaths from Helene rises as aid is rushed to North Carolina and Florida gets out.

    Nearly 100 people killed across several Southeast states; more than 2 million still without power

    IN PERRY, FLA. Since Hurricane Helene, it has been hard for authorities to get water and other supplies to flood-stricken, remote places in the Southeast of the United States. Almost 100 people have died because of the storm.

    Thirty people were killed in the storm in a North Carolina county that includes the mountain city of Asheville. Several more deaths in North Carolina on Sunday brought the total number of deaths in the storm to at least 91 across several states.

    Goods were being flown to the area around Asheville. It was promised by Avril Pinder, Manager of Buncombe County, that food and water would be brought into the city by Monday. The city is known for its arts, culture, and nature attractions.

    “We hear you.” Perder told reporters on a call on Sunday, “We need food and water.” “My staff has been asking the state for help in every way possible, and we’ve been working with every group that has reached out.” I promise that we are very close.

    Life in the Southeast was turned upside down by the storm. There were also deaths in Virginia, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

    Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina said that the death toll would go up as rescuers and other emergency workers got to places that were cut off from the rest of the world by flooding, crumbling roads, and broken infrastructure.

    People in western North Carolina were told to stay home and not go anywhere, both for their own safety and to make sure that emergency cars could get through. There are more than 50 search teams working all over the area to find people who are stuck.

    41 people were saved in one rescue effort north of Asheville. The goal of another mission was to save a single baby. Asst. Gen. Todd Hunt of the North Carolina National Guard said, the teams found people through both 911 calls and posts on social media.

    storm Helene hit land late Thursday night in the Big Bend area of Florida. It was a Category 4 storm with winds of 140 mph. As Helene got weaker, it quickly went through Georgia. It then poured rain on the Carolinas and Tennessee, flooding creeks and rivers and putting pressure on dams.

    There have been over one thousand water rescues. On Friday, a helicopter picked up dozens of patients and staff from a hospital rooftop in rural East Tennessee’s Unicoi County.

    On Sunday night, more than 2 million homes and other utility users still didn’t have power. South Carolina had the most power outages, and Gov. Henry McMaster asked people to be patient while workers fixed many broken power poles.

    “Please stay calm.” He told media outside the Aiken County airport, “Help is on the way, it will just take a little while.”

    North Carolina had the worst floods in a hundred years because of the storm. This town, Spruce Pine, got more than two feet of rain from Tuesday to Saturday.

    Jessica Drye Turner in Texas asked for help for her family members who were stuck on their Asheville rooftop as the water level rose. Turner wrote in a quick Facebook post on Friday, “They are watching 18-wheelers and cars float by.”

    Turner said in a follow-up message on Saturday that help had not come in time to save her parents, who are both in their 70s, and her 6-year-old nephew. The roof gave way, and the three people drowned.

    Her sisters and her wrote, “I cannot put into words the sadness, heartbreak, and destruction my sisters and I are going through.”

    Landslides and floods cut off western North Carolina from the rest of the state.

    Buncombe County and Asheville were getting water and other supplies from the state, but they couldn’t get there because mudslides blocked Interstate 40 and other roads. Officials said that the water sources for Buncombe County were on the other side of the Swannanoa River, away from where most of the 270,000 people who live there.

    After hearing about fights and fears of violence, the sheriff said that police were planning to send officers to places that still had food, water or gas.

    Deanne Criswell, the administrator of FEMA, said that the government disaster agency was working in six states to meet the needs of governors and state-level responders. She said that the Appalachian areas of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia were especially dangerous. On Sunday, Criswell went on a tour of south Georgia. On Monday, he was coming to North Carolina.

    “There is still a search and rescue mission going on” in western North Carolina, Criswell said. “And we know that there are many communities that are cut off just because of the geography” of the mountains. Some places can’t get to others because roads and bridges have been damaged.

    President Joe Biden said the storm’s effects were “stunning,” and he said he would go to the area this week as long as it didn’t get in the way of rescue or repair work.

    Some people lost almost everything they own in Florida’s Big Bend. Some churches cancelled regular services on Sunday morning because the sanctuaries were still dark, while others, like Faith Baptist Church in Perry, chose to pray outside.

    The grounds of Faith Baptist Church are still wet and full of tree branches and water. In a message on the church’s Facebook page, members were asked to come “pray for our community.”

    “We have strength.” Marie Ruttinger, a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, said, “We don’t have electricity.” “Our God is strong.” Without a doubt.

    Over the course of 48 hours, 11.12 inches of rain fell in Atlanta. This is the most rain that the city has seen in two days since records started being kept in 1878.

    After seeing broken homes and roads covered in debris from the air on Saturday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said it looked “like a bomb went off.”

    Augusta, Georgia, residents were told Sunday morning that their water service would be cut off for 24 to 48 hours in the city and the surrounding Richmond County in eastern Georgia, close to the border with South Carolina.

    A news report said that storm-related trash and debris “blocked our ability to pump water.” Officials were handing out water in bottles.

    At least 25 people were killed in South Carolina by Helene. It was the state’s deadliest tropical storm since Hurricane Hugo killed 35 people when it hit land north of Charleston in 1989.

    Moody’s Analytics said that damage to property will range from $15 billion to $26 billion.

    Climate change has made it easier for these kinds of storms to happen. Warming seas make the storms stronger quickly, and they can sometimes turn into powerful cyclones within hours.
