This Thanksgiving holiday will be shadowed by the loss of a loved one for many in Western North Carolina left to mourn after Tropical Storm Helene.

Shawn Hendrix, known as Mr. Beast, spoke to Top Story about ongoing relief efforts in North Carolina following Hurricane Helene. He noted significant cleanup and rebuilding progress but emphasized that those struggling before the storm are now facing even greater challenges.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, more than 2,000 landslides displaced families in western North Carolina. They are waiting to find out if rebuilding is even possible or safe.

Some local North Carolina officials are concerned the provision could impact the way cities manage their growth.
