Hundreds of people are still missing and nearly a million homes are without power a week after the storm tore across the US south-east.

The death toll from Hurricane Helene has risen to 200 as rescuers continue to search for survivors from the storm that tore across the US south-east.

More than half of the deaths were in North Carolina, where entire communities were uprooted and devastated by the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005.

Hundreds of people are still missing and nearly a million homes are without power nearly a week after Helene made landfall.

    Literally had someone tell me they loved (exact words) seeing towns in Tennessee flooded out response to my recent microblog memes post 🙃 I also can’t tell you how many snide ass Dems I see saying that they brought it on themselves by living in a red state, like there aren’t people voting Dem there anyway, or like voting Dem is a magic ward to stop climate disaster from affecting you.

      Well that person is a fucking asshole. I’m glad they’re an asshole voting for Harris but they’re still an asshole. I’m sorry you ran into them. I’ve got liberal family in deep red states and nobody is more fucking pissed off than them.
