VIDEO: It's a long road for western North Carolina residents after Hurricane Helene hit the region over a week ago, leaving catastrophic damage.
The death toll has risen to at least 230 across six states. On Wednesday, Gov. Roy Cooper said NC's confirmed death toll stood at 88.
The western part of the state is in ruins from destroyed homes, severe flooding, mudslides, and collapsed roads. Some roads made it challenging to deliver water, food, and other supplies to people. Search and rescue crews from all levels of government were deployed throughout western North Carolina.
