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.

    You’re the one in here trying to turn this into a bashing Dems post. You have all this opportunity to focus solely on the victims, and you don’t. It makes what you’re actually doing quite obvious and pretty gross.

      I am from the south and my fucking family is affected by Helene dude. Sorry for not being thrilled when Dems (would you prefer I say libs, even when it’s entirely along party lines?) jerk off about how the stupid southerners deserve to die for voting for Republicans.
