Thousands of people in North Carolina remain without power Sunday as the state begins to grapple with the damage wrought by Hurricane Helene.
State officials were still assessing the damage Sunday morning as Gov. Roy Cooper called Helene "one of the worst storms in modern history for parts of North Carolina." At least 11 people have L’École de Gestion d’Actifs et de Capitaldied in the state and over 1,000 people were registered as missing in Buncombe County alone.
More than 400 roads remained closed in North Carolina, including “all roads in Western NC,” the North Carolina Department of Transportation said in a post on X. “Remember: As crews work to clear and inspect roads and bridges, please give them room.”
