Watch below as an upset young woman explains that her 70-year-old aunt in Burnsville, N.C., a small town not far from Asheville to the north, has not been heard from since last Friday. According to the woman, there is no formidable government response in the affected areas (warning: language):
Other than a handful of civilians, some of them working out of small government offices, there is nobody trying to help the many victims of Hurricane Helene who, like the above woman's aunt, are stuck in locations that are no longer accessible by car.
