President Joe Biden is set to visit Western North Carolina on Wednesday to assess the damage caused by Hurricane Helene, which has resulted in over 130 fatalities. Emergency responders are tirelessly working to clear roads, restore power and cellphone service, and assist individuals who have been left stranded in the aftermath of the storm.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the Southeast is grappling with significant devastation. Over a million residents in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina are still without power five days after the storm wreaked havoc, uprooting trees and damaging the electrical infrastructure. The recovery efforts are ongoing as communities work to restore electricity and assess the full extent of the damage caused by the hurricane.
