The death toll from Hurricane Helene continues to climb as rescue efforts persist across the Southeast. Hard-hit regions, including parts of western North Carolina, are receiving aid from various states as emergency crews work to reach isolated communities devastated by catastrophic flooding.

Widespread devastation left behind by Hurricane Helene came into light Monday across the South, revealing a wasteland of splintered houses, crushed cargo containers and mud-covered highways in one of the worst storms in U.

Vice President Kamala Harris will visit storm-damaged Georgia on Wednesday and North Carolina in the coming days to see the debris left behind from Hurricane Helene, the White House confirmed.
