Hurricane Helene has left over 125 dead across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia, with more fatalities expected as rescue teams reach isolated areas. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said search and rescue operations will continue Tuesday, focusing on regions cut off by washed-out roads and damaged communication lines. Nearly 1.8 million homes remain without power, including 643,000 in South Carolina and 480,000 in Georgia. Federal aid is being provided, with President Joe Biden planning to visit North Carolina and other affected states this week, pledging further assistance.
