YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFloodwaters pushed by the remnants of Hurricane Helene left North Carolina’s largest mountain city isolated over the weekend by damaged roads and a lack of power and cellphone service, part of a swath of destruction across southern Appalachia that left an unknown number dead and countless worried relatives unable to reach loved ones.
The storm spread misery across western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, where on Friday authorities used a helicopter to rescue dozens of people from the rooftop of a flooded hospital. In North Carolina alone, more than 400 roads remained closed on Saturday as floodwaters began to recede and reveal the extent of damage.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said supplies were being airlifted to that part of the state. Buncombe County officials said Interstate 26 between Asheville and South Carolina had reopened, but most other routes into the city were impassible.
Hurricane Helene has caused dozens of deaths, according to officials in South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. Damage estimates range from $15 billion to over $100 billion, according to Reuters. South Carolina suffered the highest death toll with 24 fatalities.
FOX Weather's Kiyana Lewis joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to highlight the devastation in Asheville, North Carolina.
