The Devastation Left Behind By Hurricane Helene


Listen Later

Hurricane Helene and its aftereffects are devastating areas in the southern United States as towns are flooded and communities are isolated.

The storm has killed at least 166 people across six states with many still missing. Hundreds of roads have been closed, over a million people are without power, and in Asheville, North Carolina, 100,000 people are facing the possibility of going weeks without water.

We get into what relief efforts are being undertaken, and what the situation looks like on the ground currently in the affected areas.
