Buncombe County Schools confirms four of its students died during and after Helene
SUMMARY: Tragedy strikes Asheville as four Buncombe County students are confirmed dead following Hurricane Harlan, with 21 others still unaccounted for. Superintendent Rob Jackson expressed deep sorrow during an emergency meeting, noting the profound impact on the school community. Classes in Buncombe County are indefinitely suspended due to extensive damage; only 13 of 45 schools have water access. Emergency repairs have restored some water sources in the area, yet many communities remain under boil water advisories. Jackson is exploring options for reopening schools even without water, while competing for limited emergency resources affected by the hurricane in Florida.
The district is still trying to contact at least 21 other students and one teacher.

Unlike Obama, Harris stays away from race, gender in campaign rally | North Carolina
SUMMARY: On Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned in North Carolina, focusing her message on “middle class” and “working people,” avoiding direct appeals to specific racial or gender groups. This came days after former President Obama spoke controversially about Black male voters’ support for her campaign. Harris emphasized the importance of voting and reproductive freedom, and participated in hurricane relief efforts. With Election Day approaching, polling shows a tight race, particularly in North Carolina, a key battleground. Harris criticized former President Trump, framing her campaign as a continuation of Biden’s agenda while acknowledging the challenges ahead.
