In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Helene, North Carolina is grappling with extensive flooding and landslides that have severely impacted travel across the state. Many residents are currently unable to access normal routes as road closures continue to disrupt transportation.



The state has reported over 60 roadway closures, affecting major highways including I-40, U.S. 74, and U.S. 64. As of Thursday, critical routes connecting North Carolina to Tennessee, such as I-40 and I-26, remain inaccessible.



Recovery efforts are ongoing as the state works to address the destruction caused by the storm, which resulted in loss of life and significant damage to homes. Navigating the state remains a formidable challenge for those needing to travel amid the ongoing recovery process.
