Nearly 200 people are reportedly dead after Hurricane Helene slammed the southeast portion of the United States.
NBC News reported on Thursday that 194 people lost their lives amid the destruction the storm brought, with over half of the deaths occurring in North Carolina.
“Hundreds are still missing and officials have reported difficulties in identifying some of the dead,” the outlet said.
It added “President Joe Biden visited North Carolina yesterday and announced that up to 1,000 active-duty soldiers will join the North Carolina National Guard in delivering supplies, food and water to isolated communities.”
