The devastation of Hurricane Helene
Across the southeastern United States, Hurricane Helene destroyed houses, swept up cars and overflowed riverbanks. Now millions of people are without power and clean drinking water; more than 100 people are dead.
\u201cIt's not really an overstatement to say there are towns that were there and are basically not there anymore,\u201d environment and climate reporter Brady Dennis said. He\u2019s been reporting from North Carolina, where many communities were not prepared for the disaster. On today\u2019s show, Dennis describes the widespread destruction and relief efforts to host Elahe Izadi.
