With Los Angeles still reeling from wildfires that devastated thousands of homes and took at least 14 lives over the past several days, victims of a different natural disaster — Hurricane Helene in North Carolina — are urging Americans not to forget them as they face the prospect of losing their temporary housing in the coming days, months after the storm tore through the western part of the state.
Even as the fires continue to flare up in Los Angeles County, officials are scrambling to accommodate those still suffering in North Carolina, where a winter storm has blanketed parts of the state with snow and ice. Weather services are predicting that temperatures could drop well below freezing in the central and western parts of the state in the coming days.
