North Carolina in ruins after Hurricane Helene devastation, at least 90 killed in US

North Carolina was left in ruins as a huge cleanup and recovery effort began on Sunday, September 29, after Hurricane Helene knocked out power for millions, destroyed roads and bridges and caused dramatic flooding from Florida to Virginia.

The storm's winds, rain and storm surge killed at least 90 people in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia, according to a Reuters tally of state and local officials.

Some of the worst rains hit western North Carolina, where almost 30 inches (76 cm) fell on Mount Mitchell in Yancey County, the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center reported.

Damage estimates ranged from $15 billion to more than $100 billion, insurers and forecasters said over the weekend, as water systems, communications and critical transportation routes were affected.
