The devastation of Hurricane Helene, as inclement weather tore through the southeast, claimed at least 90 lives.
According to Reuters , Hurricane Helene ripped through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida , Tennessee, and Virginia, causing massive damage as 90 people were killed and destruction was left along its path. Millions were left without power, and roads were left in ruins after the hurricane flooded some towns. Local officials anticipate that the death total will grow.
According to some insurers, the estimated damages from the hurricane that ravaged the region over the past several days may range from between $15 billion and more than $100 billion. The weather drastically affected all manner of living, including knocking out cellphone towers and causing rippling effects throughout the water systems, communications, and critical transportation routes.
According to the White House, President Joe Biden plans to visit the areas affected by the hurricane this week once it is clear that he can do so without disrupting emergency services.
