Hurricane Helene has laid waste to the southeastern United States. Its sheer wind force and deadly floods left behind a path of destruction stretching over 500 miles from Florida to the Southern Appalachians.

Days after Hurricane Helene tore through the Southeast and killed more than 100 people in six states, the search for survivors continued Monday as dozens of people across multiple states remained missing.

The death toll from Hurricane Helene is still climbing as Americans across the Southeast count the cost of last week's massive storm.

Deadly Hurricane Helene left huge areas of Southeastern states devastated with communities cut off and scores of people unaccounted for. NBC News' Jay Gray reports from Boone, North Carolina, where the catastrophe has left residents stunned.
