At least 190 people are known to have died as a result of the carnage and destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene since it made landfall in Florida a week ago.

At least 61 people have died in hard-hit Buncombe County, North Carolina, which encompasses Asheville, county officials said. Hundreds of thousands of customers in the South are still without power nearly one week after Hurricane Helene made landfall.

The North Carolina State Climate Office explains how the "monster storm" left unprecedented damage that will likely "take years to document."
