"Rescue crews in parts of the south-eastern US were still searching on Friday for those missing as they entered the eighth day since Hurricane Helene roared ashore in Florida and became the deadliest mainland hurricane in the US since Katrina in 2005."
"Officials have reported at least 215 deaths across six states as a result of Helene and warned that more will be found dead in the coming days and weeks as the recovery efforts continue amid shocking devastation to whole towns, roads and vital infrastructure."
"In some parts of the state, such as in Buncombe county and other mountain communities, residents and communities became isolated due to impassable flooded or broken-up roads, mudslides, fallen trees and huge amounts of debris, destroyed homes and little to no cellphone service, internet connections or electricity."
"A volunteer group of private pilots, the Altitude Project, raised $200,000 this week to fund operations, according to local sources, emphasizing the community’s resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges."
