Elsie Hicks looks at the destruction of the home she has lived in for 25 years Saturday in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Horseshoe Beach, Fla. One rescue effort involved saving 41 people north of Asheville. Another mission focused on saving a single infant. The teams found people through both 911 calls and social media messages, North Carolina National Guard Adjutant General Todd Hunt said.
But in a follow-up message Saturday, Turner said help had not arrived in time to save her parents, both in their 70s, and her 6-year-old nephew. The roof collapsed and the three drowned. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell toured south Georgia on Sunday and planned to be in North Carolina Monday. Standing water and tree debris still covers the grounds of Faith Baptist Church. The church called on parishioners to come “pray for our community” in a message posted to the congregation’s Facebook page.
