Today's Thursday, October 3.
Here's what we're covering.
You can see homes that have moved from clearly from one side of the river down the river to another side of the river.
And I can only imagine what it's like to have been in one of those homes.
President Biden flew over Asheville and the mountains of North Carolina yesterday to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene, which turned creeks into rivers and flattened whole towns.
Massive trees uprooted homes literally swept off their foundations, swept down rivers.
You know, families are heartbroken.
The death toll from the storm has now risen to at least 180 people across six states.
Biden ordered the Pentagon to send 1000 active duty troops to help in North Carolina, where rescue workers are still trying to reach remote communities where people have been cut off by floodwaters, downed trees and washed out highways.
Biden also called on lawmakers to ensure the Federal Emergency Management Agency gets more resources.
The homeland security secretary who oversees FEMA, has warned that the agency doesnt have enough funding to make it through the rest of this hurricane season.
The sheer amount of rain that poured down in North Carolina was so intense that no amount of preparation could have entirely prevented the destruction there.
