Nearly 400 miles from where Hurricane Helene made landfall, the North Carolina mountain hamlet of Chimney Rock Village has been all but wiped off the map.

Lawmakers in North Carolina are returning to Raleigh to pass legislation next week securing fiscal aid and lawful allowances in other areas of daily life to the western part of the state devastated by Hurricane Helene flooding.

Hurricane Helene has left a wake of death and destruction across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee after it made landfall in Florida on Sept. 26. Despite being downgraded to a tropical depression, hundreds were killed by the storm, millions are still without power, and the damage is estimated in the billions of dollars.
