Hurricane Helene, the de*dliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005, reportedly k*lled 200 people as rescuers continue to hunt for survivors. The d3aths were recorded in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee.
Hundreds of individuals have gone missing, and almost a million houses have been left without electricity. Unfortunately, rescue teams confront obstacles because many roads have been left impassable by the storm’s wreckage.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper emphasized the gravity of the issue, stating that the steep terrain has made it difficult for many areas to access aid.
Among those who lost their lives is 7-year-old Micah Drye of Asheville, North Carolina. He and his grandparents were swept away by floodwaters after seeking refuge on a rooftop. The boy’s mother, Meghan, survived.
The news of Micah’s d3ath was disclosed by his aunt, Jessica Drye Turner, who also shared the boy’s final words, “Jesus! Please help me!”
The heartbroken aunt expressed her grief and pain over the loss of her sister’s son. “New grief and strong faith. New motto.”
The boy’s lifeless body was located about a quarter mile from where his mother had been rescued.
