        North Carolina will resume search and rescue operations on Tuesday, intent on delivering aid and making contact with hundreds of people cut off by washed- out roads and damaged cellphone towers in the wake of Helene.
        
        The storm killed more than 100 people across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia, and the death toll is expected to rise once rescue teams reach isolated towns and telecommunications are restored.
        
        "There are a lot of people hurting. When you don't have power, when you don't have cell phone service, when you don't have water, this is a catastrophic situation for you," North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper told MSNBC on Monday night.
