Impact of Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene resulted in unprecedented devastation across the southeastern United States, particularly in North Carolina, where flooding reached historic levels. More than 100 fatalities were reported, with rescue efforts hampered by washed-out roads and loss of communication. Many residents faced dire circumstances, including lack of access to clean water and electricity, leading to crowded shelters that could only provide temporary relief. Rainfall exceeded two feet in some areas, contributing to what officials termed the worst flooding in over a century.
