Hurricane Helene's death toll tops 100 as Southeast digs out from storm's devastation

As the number of storm-related deaths climbed past 100 across the Southeast, authorities were rushing to airdrop supplies, restore power and clear roads after massive rains from Hurricane Helene left people stranded and without shelter.

Helene killed at least 116 people, CBS News confirmed, and caused widespread destruction.

Thirty fatalities were reported in Buncombe County, North Carolina — one of the states hit hardest by the storm. Buncombe County includes the devastated city of Asheville. More than 92,000 Buncombe County homes and businesses had no power early Monday, according to utility tracker Find Energy.
