A crisis unfolded in Asheville, North Carolina, as officials pledged to get more water, food and other supplies to flood-stricken areas without power and cellular service Monday, days after Hurricane Helene ripped across the U.

Widespread devastation left behind by Hurricane Helene came to light across the South, revealing a wasteland of splintered houses, crushed cargo containers, and mud-covered highways in one of the worst storms in US history.

With the number of Helene's victims reaching at least 100 on Monday, the powerful storm that swept the Southeast and triggered epic rainfall has become one of the deadliest hurricanes to make landfall on the U.S. mainland in the modern era.
