North Carolina is among states in the southeast that were ripped apart by Hurricane Helene last week.
The communities in Asheville and Charlotte looked nothing like they did before in drone video that was recorded on Sunday.Daniel Whittaker showed how North Carolinians are reeling from the devastating storm.
Footage recorded in Asheville showed the crisis happening on the ground as flooding continued along the French Broad River. The majority of buildings were under water, large trees toppled over and other structures destroyed. Debris scattered everywhere in Biltmore Village also covered the ground in places where the water receded that were once businesses and roadways. A line of vehicles that few blocks long showed what appeared to be people waiting for gas.
President Joe Biden said he will visit Hurricane Helene-impacted areas this week as long as it does not disrupt rescue and recovery operations. He described the impact of the storm on Sunday as "stunning" and said that the administration is giving states "everything we have" to help with their response to the storm.
