Heavy trees, and downed Power Lines are blocking major roadways, hampering the delivery of badlyneeded supplies and overturn Semitruck Lane upside down in the river and numerous landslides all spotted from above Black Mountain city manager, Josh Herald says, it could take years to get over this devastation is catastrophic Black Mountain may never look the same again. Its just total Destruction And Isabel rosales is joining us now, live from asheville, North Carolina. Isabel, youve been on the ground in nashville since helene actually hit whats the biggest need that youre seeing right now . Wolf, everything they need, everything basic, basic stuff, baby formula, food, water theyre running out of this stuff theyre, theyve been out of electricity for days now. Their food is rotting and it is so hard to get to some of these people up in the mountain tops that theyre actually flying. I could hear helicopters going all the time either trying to rescue people that are trapped, or trying to give them supplies so they can just hold on. Ive actually also ventured today for the first time, been able to venture outside of asheville. And you see right here, wolf you can see the fema vehicles. This is Lake Floor where weve seen so many first responders going in there still going through all of this this debris because this is still an active Search And Rescue. There are people that are still so when accounted for wolf. And this is far out as theyre letting us go through the Police Line right here its going to take a long time for these communities to recover. Weve heard from so many, including the governor days, weeks months, if not years including the mayor of a nearby town over here. Here who said that 50 of his neighbors all lost their homes. Well all lost their homes. This is going to take awhile. Yes. So heartbreaking, they need everything you make a good point. Isabel rosales in North Carolina for us. Thank you very much. I want to go to the White House right now. Thats where President Biden just announced his plan to visit the Disaster Zone in North Carolina since Kayla Tausche, she has found that first kayla tell us, first of all what the president is saying about his trip and the impact of Hurricane Helene wolf, the president just announced those Plans Today at the White House when he was receiving a briefing by North Carolina governor Roy Cooper, as well as the leader of Fema Deanne Criswell and he said that hes going to be first visiting a Command Center in raleigh and then taking an Aerial Tour from there, basically, the only way that its possible to see the brunt of the damage in that state, especially in some of those harder hit areas. He says hell also traveled to georgia and florida when its safe and when conditions allow him to do so. But President Biden and also fielded some questions from reporters and one of them in response to one of them, he gave an especially colorful and at times frustrated response when he was asked to respond to to comments by former President Donald Trump today that he ends some of the democratic leaders are in trumps words ignoring other parts of their states and not sending the type of response that is needed. And heres how biden responded to that question. Take a Listen Donald Trump has used both of you of ignoring ryan let me get restraint. Hes lying im a governor told him he was lying. The governor told me is lying. I spoken to the governor spending time with him talk his line. I dont know why he does this. And the reason i get so angry about i dont care about what he says about me by a cure when he communicates the people that are in need implies that were not doing everything possible. We are we are buying there in the Oval Office with his homeland security adviser, also asked whether this storm was the result of Climate Change to which biden said absolutely unequivocally yes wolf. All right. Kayla, thank you very much, Kayla Tausche reporting, joining us now, the Fema Administrator, Deanne Criswell shes on the ground in asheville, North Carolina as well. Dan. Thanks so much for joining us. The asheville mayor says her city needs quote, Emergency Relief right now. What are you seeing on the ground there as you serve . They the Damage Opportunity to join Governor Cooper Today to do an Aerial Tour of some of the areas that were impacted and talk to people understand even what theyre hearing from neighbors are not hearing and what their biggest concerns are. At what weve had recently sources in here since before the storm made landfall, even in florida. And we know that there is still great need. We know that theres a lot of power thats out. We know that the Water Sister down and we have been moving commodities in, in partnership with the state and moving them out into the communities but we know theres areas we havent gotten to yet. So well continue to get that information of the places that still need critical equipment, critical food and water. Were going to continue to move that into those areas. At least 128 people were now told have died across six states as a result of the helene the white House Homeland Security adviser, Liz Sherwood Randall says that number could rise to as many as 600. What is your sense of the horrific impact storm . And do you agree with Liz Sherwood Randall . So this storm has been historic. I mean, it went across in caused destruction in six different states. And then here in North Carolina, it has been catastrophic there is a number of people that are still unaccounted for here in North Carolina. We know that a number those are probably due to loss of communications but we do believe that that Death Toll here well probably still continue to rise, which is why were bringing in additional Search And Rescue teams to get out into those communities that we havent been able to reach yet and its just devastating across all six states, high numbers of loss of life in every state that has been impacted by Hurricane Helene. Some families are telling cnn that Dan Thats still that they still dont know whether their Loved Ones have survived the storm. What is your message to these very, very desperate families . I think sometimes that is so hard and one of the hardest things for families when they just dont know yet and we know a lot of it is because the communications are down. The best thing that they can do right now is that they have not called to oneone to let officials here in North Carolina know that their families havent been able to be connected with them yet. That gives us that information so we can start to focus our efforts of where the unaccounted are and see if we can find anybody thats still needs rescuing as you know, Deanne Hundreds Of Roads remain closed in the southeast as a result of Hurricane Helene, how much is this hampering fema is ability to actually go ahead and deliver these badly needed supplies closures are certainly a hinderance, right . Because we want to be able to get in close, close to these communities that have been impacted. But we have a large amount of aerial assets that have been here since before the storm are bringing additional in to complement what already the state has in place they have been flying here all day. Ive been hearing them all day as ive been here, ive been able to see them as i was flying around today. Other resources that are out putting those supplies, trying to reach the people that have been impacted. I know that Department Of Transportation just requested additional resources that are coming in from florida to help them clear these roads. Were going to continue to listen to what their needs are bringing additional federal assets and help open these roads so we can reach these communities because we know that theres still so many people that have been isolated as a result of the Storms Path quickly before i let you go, diane, do you want to comment at all on what trump is saying that the biden administration is not really helping republican areas of North Carolina well, if i was in florida earlier this week and then i went to georgia to assess the impacts in both of those states. I have been in contact with all of the governors in the six states that were impacted. We have had resources on the ground since for the Storm Hit in Florida And Georgia as well as North Carolina and tennessee. North carolina. And now virginia, even virginia has been experienced and impacts. Its just completely false. We have had so many resources on the ground before we have over 3,000 federal resources across all of the different states right now and we are continuing to send more. And we are all so grateful to what fema, your team is doing to help these people who are desperate right now, the Fema Administrator, Deanne Criswell, thanks so much for joining us and to our viewers for more information about how you can help Hurricane Helene victims go to and just ahead the Breaking News out of georgia right now where a judge just struck down the States Abortion Ban also coming up a live report from israels northern border on apparent moves toward an israeli Ground Incursion into lebanon.
