An unthinkable tragedy on every level, with communities torn apart, with the Death Toll from Hurricane Helene rising almost by the hour, the focus shifts now to the basics. Food, water, gas, power, as Tens Of Thousands plead for help that for many still hasnt come. The president says that help is on the way, but how long can people hold out . Plus, after killing Hezbollahs Leader, israel issues a stark warning to the rest of its enemies. You can run, but you cant hide. Now the u. S. Secretary of state claims that diplomacy remains the only path to peace. And the path towards the second largest Voting Bloc in the u. S. At a whole new level. Kamala harris blasting Donald Trump as he doubles down on his antimigrant messaging and his attacks on her. A lot to get to. A very busy monday. But we begin down south, where residents are facing a Mindnumbing Level of devastation left by Hurricane Helene. Lives and homes lost,
