Hurricane Helen has wreaked havoc in America. The death toll from the devastating storm has increased to 227. This terrible storm has caused massive devastation in the south-east of America. Such a small number of people have died in six states of America. Even after more than a week, the work of recovering the bodies of those killed in the storm is still going on.
There was huge destruction in America
Devastating Hurricane Helene struck the coast on September 26 and caused widespread destruction as it moved northward from Florida. Heavy rains caused by the storm caused many houses to collapse, several roads to be washed away and electricity and mobile phone service to be disrupted. The death toll from the storm on Friday was 225, and two more deaths were reported in South Carolina the next day, Saturday. It is not yet clear how many people are missing. It is not possible to estimate how much more the death toll may increase.
America's most destructive hurricane
Helene is the deadliest hurricane to hit the US mainland since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Casualties were highest in North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina. The storm has wreaked havoc in the city of Asheville, located in the western mountains of North Carolina. Workers used brooms and heavy machinery to clean up mud and dirt outside the New Belgium Brewing Company after the storm passed. It is located next to the French Broad River and is heavily influenced by the French.
To date, North Carolinians have received more than $27 million in individual assistance approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. More than 83,000 people have registered for individual assistance, according to Governor Roy Cooper's office.
It also shook areas away from the coast
How devastating Hurricane Helen was can be gauged from the fact that it devastated remote mountain towns, including the mountains of Tennessee, all the way to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The country music star has announced a million-dollar donation dedicated to providing immediate assistance to flood victims of Hurricane Helen.
