Days after Hurricane Helene made landfall, devastating flooding, road closures and power outages remain in hard-hit areas. There have been at least 88 deaths as a result of the storm, according to an NBC News count of confirmed fatalities. A third of them were reported in North Carolina.

The storm surge, wind damage and inland flooding from Hurricane Helene have been catastrophic, flooding neighborhoods, stranding residents, destroying homes and toppling trees in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Dozens have been killed.

Photos from the areas where Helene had struck — both before and after making landfall — illustrate the devastating toll of the storm.
