Hurricane Helene’s devastating toll kept climbing Sunday as search and rescue teams, combing through the wreckage of splintered homes and wind-tossed vehicles, counted at least 93 storm-related deaths across five states.

Officials warned that rebuilding from the widespread loss of homes and property would be lengthy and difficult.

At least 30 people have died in the area around Asheville, North Carolina. “Those communities no longer resemble what they were a week ago,” one official said.
