Thirty people have been confirmed dead after Tropical Storm Helene ripped through Buncombe County, North Carolina, Sheriff Quentin Miller said early Sunday evening.
“We’re still conducting search operations, and we know that those also may include recovery operations,” he said at a news conference.
The county remains under a state of emergency, with officials saying they are working hard to help those impacted by Helene, which hit Florida’s Big Bend as a Category 4 hurricane before moving up through Georgia and the Carolinas as a tropical storm.
