Breaking news At least 115 people killed from Hurricane Helene, and the death toll is rising.(CNN NEWS)_
What we’re covering here.
• At least 115 people have died across six states and officials fear the death toll can rise. Many more remain missing, perhaps unable to leave their location or unable to contact family where communications infrastructure is in shreds.
• Hundreds of roads remain closed, especially in the Carolinas, hampering the delivery of badly-needed supplies. And more than 2 million customers remain without power, according to poweroutage.us.
• There’s a medium chance a new storm develops in the western Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico later this week. It’s too early to know where it’ll go from there, so anyone near the Gulf will need to monitor the forecast.
• President Joe Biden will visit some of the affected communities later this week, “as soon as it will not disrupt emergency response operations,” the White House said. Presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have expressed condolences to those affected by Hurricane Helene and are receiving recovery briefings.
