Torrential rain from Storm Helene has ravaged parts of North Carolina and Tennessee – the latest south-eastern US states to suffer in a disaster that has killed at least 63 people.
More than 400 roads remain closed in North Carolina, where 10 people have died. Supplies are being airlifted to residents, state Governor Roy Cooper said.
Officials have continued their rescue missions with boats, helicopters and large vehicles to help those stranded in floodwaters.
The storm began as a hurricane – the most powerful on record to hit Florida’s Big Bend, and moved north into Georgia and the Carolinas after making landfall overnight on Thursday.
Although Helene has weakened significantly, forecasters warn that high winds, flooding and the threat of tornadoes could continue.
