ASHEVILLE, NC — Hurricane Helene is now the deadliest storm to hit the mainland U.S. since Hurricane Katrina.
Officials say at least 202 people have died due to the storm that slammed the Southeast a week ago. At least 61 people have died in the Buncombe County, North Carolina where flooding has devastated the area. The death toll will likely continue to go up as hundreds remain missing.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people are still without power in Georgia and the Carolinas. President Biden will survey damage in Florida and Georgia today.
