Rescue and evacuation efforts continue in western North Carolina, with many people still unaccounted for. There is also a widespread effort to get resources out to people in hard-to-reach areas of our state. Well check in with North Carolinians from Avery County and Buncombe County.

Then, 耳科利利嫋s Rusty Jacobs tells us how Helenes impacts are reshaping the election with in-person early voting scheduled to start in two weeks. We also hear from a Duke Energy official about when power could return to the hundreds of thousands of people still in the dark.
