Those impacted by Hurricane Helene are now more than five days without basic necessities, including water, gas, power and cellphone service. FAIRVIEW, N.C.
– Those affected by Hurricane Helene are now more than five days without necessities, including water, gas, power and cellphone service. "They're afraid. People are getting on edge," retired Asheville, North Carolina, police Officer Steve Antle told Fox News Digital.
"They've already had people doing some minor looting in the area. Because there's no power ..
. so it's just a free-for-all at this point. There are no traffic signals.
There are not enough police officers." In Fairview, a suburb of Asheville hit hard by floodwaters and mudslides after the worst of Helene Friday morning, residents can be seen driving around grocery store parking lots asking others where they got water, gasoline and food. Due to the lack of electricity and cell service, locals are unable to communicate to find out where these necessities are.
Communication with loved ones and emergency personnel is also spotty, and residents are relying on temporary cell service towers that have been set up in select locations. But outside those locations, there is still no service or roaming data. FOX CORPORATION LAUNCHES DONATION DRIVE FOR AMERICAN RED CROSS HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF EFFORTS A Dollar General in Fairview, N.
