Nearly 100 still missing in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene

Ninety-two people are still unaccounted for in North Carolina, weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated the western part of the state, Governor Roy Cooper said on Tuesday.

In a news conference on Tuesday, Cooper warned that number could change as more reports of missing people are resolved.

“I want to caution that this is not a definitive count, because the task force is continuing its work,” he said.

Ninety-five people are known to have died in North Carolina as a result of the storm, while more than 220 have been killed in total, including in Florida, where the storm made landfall. (BBC News)
