Helene's Wrath: Lives Lost, Power Out, and Biden's Bold Response

  • Summary

  • At least 102 people have died across six states due to Hurricane Helene, with North Carolina having the heaviest death toll. Millions of people are still without power and recovery efforts are underway. President Joe Biden expressed his sorrow, stating, "My heart is broken for those impacted by this terrible storm." He has approved major disaster declarations from Florida and North Carolina, opening access to FEMA assistance for those in the hardest hit areas. Over 3,300 federal personnel have been deployed for search and rescue, with 50,000 workers from across the U.S. and Canada aiding in power restoration. FEMA is also coordinating the delivery of essential supplies, and medical teams are on the ground to address emergency health needs. Biden assured, "We will stand with these communities every step of the way as recovery continues." The president will be visiting affected areas later this week. Learn more about your ad choices.
