SUMMARY: North Carolina Governor Josh Stein visited Yancey County to meet with survivors of Hurricane Helene, which claimed 11 lives and left three missing over five months ago. Stein emphasized the substantial damage of around $60 billion caused by the storm. During his visit, he toured areas like Micaville Elementary and the home of former Sheriff Shane Hilliard’s parents, both severely impacted. Stein advocated for increased funding and additional resources for recovery efforts, including a home repair program. He expressed gratitude for state efforts but urged the federal government to provide more assistance for Helene victims urgently.
