Hurricane Helene aftermath: Devastation in North Carolina | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Days after Hurricane Helen ravaged the Southeast, communities remain in peril, many cut off from assistance. In Georgia and North Carolina, the destruction is termed “unthinkable,” with residents lacking water and cell service. Helen, a Category 4 hurricane, initially struck Florida’s Big Bend region, causing severe flooding and wind damage, particularly in Cedar Key, where homes were flattened. Recovery is expected to take years, prompting concerns of mass exodus. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is prioritizing community stabilization and damage assessment, while President Biden has declared disasters in Florida and North Carolina to facilitate FEMA aid.

North Carolina received the brunt of Helene with leaders calling the devastation “unthinkable” and many communities essentially cut off as they wait for help. FOX’s Madison Scarpino has the latest.
