As search for Helene's victims drags into second week, sheriff says rescuers 'will not rest'
The search for victims of Hurricane Helene dragged into its second week on Friday, as exhausted rescue crews and volunteers continued to work long days — navigating past washed out roads, downed power lines and mudslides — to reach the isolated and the missing. “We know these are hard times, but please know we’re coming," Sheriff Quentin Miller of Buncombe County, North Carolina, said at a Thursday evening press briefing. Roughly half the victims were in North Carolina, while dozens more were killed in South Carolina and Georgia.
