(Breitbart) Fresh water, fuel, food, medical, and other essential supplies were being rushed to flood-stricken areas Monday after Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across the U.S. southeast.
Thank you. I’ve heard that Hot Spring is completely isolated. Madison County had no communication last I heard. These small mountain towns need help. #hurricanehelene #HurricaneHelene2024 #NorthCarolinaFlooding #ashevilleflooding https://t.co/XuZvM6xqfo

At least 91 people across several states were killed after the behemoth weather event reached full force over the weekend.
That’s a shipping container wrapped around #Barnard bridge. We don’t know fully yet but it’s very possible 20% +/- of our #madisoncounty nc bridges are destroyed. #ashevilleflooding #asheville #ashevillenc pic.twitter.com/Glb2IDvv1G

A North Carolina county that includes the mountain city of Asheville reported 30 people killed, AP reports.
I’m praying for those that are suffering absolute devastation from the recent hurricane!
My family and I live in South Carolina and not far from Asheville and it’s devastating.
Please pray! 🙏 #ashevilleflooding pic.twitter.com/B2ento049x

Gov. Roy Cooper predicted the toll would rise as rescuers and other emergency workers reached areas isolated by collapsed roads, failing infrastructure and widespread flooding.

Supplies were being airlifted to the region around the isolated city of Asheville, the AP report continued.
Rural towns in NC, GA, FL, and TN have been wiped out by Hurricane Helene.
Why is this not all over the news?

President Joe Biden described the impact of the storm as “stunning” and said he would visit the area this week at a time still to be determined.
As Biden waits to choose a time to visit, former President Donald Trump will visit the city of Valdosta, Georgia, which was left devastated in the storm.

In a press release issued on Sunday, the Trump campaign announced he would be visiting Valdosta “to receive a briefing on the devastation” from the hurricane and to “facilitate the distribution of relief supplies.”

As Breitbart News reported, Helene, downgraded from a strong Category 4 storm, made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region Thursday evening.
This was Mills River the morning after, right near the Asheville airport. I couldn’t even get into the city. This needs more national attention. Trump and MAGA are nowhere to be seen to help these people. #hurricanehelene #ashevilleflooding #helene #flooding #NorthCarolinaFlood pic.twitter.com/m0oXLXc2gU
