BLACK MOUNTAIN, NORTH CAROLINA - SEPTEMBER 30: Anthony Pack, left, and Jonathan Pack, brothers, look out over a mangled hillside in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene on September 30, 2024 near Black Mountain, North Carolina. “I showed up about an hour after it all happened. It was total devastation. The whole neighborhood is obliterated. It’s gone. I’ve got family that’s missing and unaccounted for and family that’s dead,” said Pack. At least 90 people have been killed across the southeastern U.S. due to the hurricane, according to published reports, which made landfall as a category 4 storm on Thursday. Millions are without power, according to the reports. The White House declared major disasters in North Carolina and Florida, freeing up federal emergency management money for those areas.
