now. today, monday, september 30th, 2024. helene's aftermath the death toll from the massive storm continues to rise. millions across the southeast are still without power, struggling to find basic necessities, we're on the ground as the scope of the storm comes into focus. deadline midnight. tens of thousands of unionized port workers are set to walk off the job. the major impact it could have. veep impact. j.d. vance and tim walz preparing to come face to face for the first and only vice presidential debate. and skin deep. the growing effort to make skincare more inclusive for people of color, our conversation with the founder of one company leading the charge. you'll recognize the names, idris elbaa good conversation.

we begin though with the breaking news. >> that's right the desperation and frustration mounting from the historic aftermath of hurricane helene. >> the storm devastated communities across the southeastern u.s., severe flooding wiped away roads, homes and even entire towns. more than 100 people have died in 6 states, hundreds more remain missing. >> millions of people still don't have power, cellphone and internet service is limited in many areas. residents in some communities are criticizeding the federal government for what they say is a slow response to the storm. today president biden said he plans to visit later this week and he's directing the government to send all the happen that it can. >> there's more to do and we'll continue to surge resources. including food, water, communications and life-saving equipment. we'll be there as i said before and i mean it, as long as it takes to finish this job. >> let's start with our coverage with nbc news correspondent

george solis in asheville, north carolina. >> reporter: the death toll unfortunately keeps climbing, the number of unaccounted also continues to go here. officials here say they've received about 11,000 calls for wellness checks. a staggering number of this reality of what's happening here in asheville. right now, we're standing in the river arts district, this time yesterday all of this was still under water, you can see obviously a lot of it has receded. now we're hearing from the business owners who are looking at what used to be their businesses. talking to some of the owners here and you can see the despair on their faces. many frustrated with the lack of the federal response here on the ground. the other issue, there's no time line when crucial utilities will be turned on specifically water, many hearing different information and different time points, a lot of that has to do with the cellphone service, they

put up temporary tower that's spotty. we're hearing reports of people just sharing information. there's still no power in a lot of the area, some regions cut off. we have heard from the white house, president biden will be here on the ground when he can, when it doesn't impact those search and rescue operations. for a lot of residents, how this community has been banded together, many sharing resources, food, water, whatever they can until that federal response is established here. we've heard reports of water distribution sites being established. it's hard to get that disseminated across all of asheville. back to you. >> george, thanks so much.

let's bring in meteorologist bill karins. help our viewers understand how these mountainous areas were hit. >> west coast viewers can relate to this more than our east coast viewers. rainfall totals, 20, 24 inches. one spot was over 30 inches of rain. so this is epic amount of rainfall in mountainous terrain, that goes down into the valleys, this was an atmospheric river event with a hurricane on the end of it. you get a ton of heavy rain, looked in alone, category 4 hurricane come right into that, that's what happened, unusual storm over arkansas, upper level low, it had deep tropical feed and eventually that deep

tropical feed sucked helene up and head northward. what's next, 40% chance of development, at almost exact the same spot of helene, but this time our computer models are keeping this weak, it will drift more or less toward florida avoiding those areas of georgia, north carolina and south carolina. helene is top of mind on the campaign trail as well, former president donald trump is in georgia today speaking with people about the storm damage. >> vice president harris has cancelled the campaign event in nevada is heading back to washington, d.c., for a fema briefing on the hurricane. meantime j.d. vance and tim walz are in the final stages oaf

preparing for their debate tomorrow night. dasha what do we know about the former president's trip to georgia right now. >> former president trump has been critical of the administration's response to hurricane helene, he falsely claimed that governor kemp had a hard time getting in touch with president biden when kemp himself said that president biden did give him a call, so no doubt he'll be amplifying that message of the criticism of the white house and of vice president harris' response to hurricane helene. the hurricane hit the states of georgia and north carolina, they're among the hardest hit states, also the battlegrounds, it would make sense that the former president is going there and that the message is turning political. >> yamiche, they're filing a lawsuit in georgia after the state decided to change some rules around the election, what more are we learning there?

>> reporter: that's right, the democratic national committee as well as the democratic party in georgia with the backing of the harris campaign, the campaign supportive of this lawsuit they've sued the georgia state election board on monday, claiming this new rule to count ballots by hand would invite chaos on election night. put the security of ballots at risk. part of that lawsuit says, quote, to protect the sanctity of the law. this court should declare the hand-count exceeds the state election board's statutory authority. we've heard from the deputy campaign manager of the harris campaign, he said we agree with georgia republican attorney general, this rule is unproductive and unlawful. >> thanks to you both. now attention all verizon

you call emergency services. you have that lifeline even in this outage. >> maggie, thank you time now for today's money minute. directv signs a deal that's been decades in the make zmrg legendary director's new movie is struggling at the box office. directv agreed today to buy echostar television business, including dish tv, the deal caps off decades of talks. combined 20 million subscribers. it provides a much needed exit california governor gavin newsom vetoed a contentious artificial intelligence safety bill that faced harsh criticism from tech companies.

nasrallah on friday. nbc news international correspondent raf sanchez joins me now from haifa in northern israel, what more are you learning about this limited ground operation? >> reporter: kate, multiple sources tell nbc news that this operation could begin as early as tonight, i can tell you here in northern israel it feels like things are beginning to move very, very quickly. earlier the israeli military closed the eastern section of the israel/lebanon border declaring it a closed military zone, we don't know for sure but that appears to be a strong indication where the tip of the israeli spear will cross over into southern lebanon. reports in lebanese media that israeli artillery is pounding that area of the border right now, as you move around northern israel you're seeing the unmistakable signs of an army massing for a potential ground

offensive. artillery moving around. enormous amounts of troops, along the gaza border in the weeks after october 7th right before the israeli military moved in there. in the last couple of weeks, israeli special forces have been carrying out limited operations inside of southern lebanon, according to an israeli officials, the goal is to -- we expect what will happen potentially in the coming hours will be a much, much larger scale, it will involved israeli tanks, armor units but israel is telling the united states that will ultimately be a limited ground operation designed at pushing hezbollah forces back from the immediate border area the problem, kate, the ground offensive often begin limited then they take on a life of their own once the shooting starts, israeli forces went into

southern lebanon back in 2002. israeli troops ended up staying for 20 years, a decision that rewrote the history of the middle east and as we speak prime minister netanyahu is meeting with his security cabinet and may appear to be weighing a similarly momentous decision. here in the u.s. the clock is ticking, tens of thousands of dock workers are preparing to walk off the job at midnight at ports up and down the east and gulf coasts. >> as negotiations have stalled, if that strike happens we could see a major impact to the u.s. economy. nbc news correspondent tre maine lee joins us now. negotiations are at a stand still right now, are there any hopes of stopping this before the midnight deadline. >> every hour closer to that deadline, the strike seems more

and more inevitable. demanding a wage increase. this could be very expensive. if the strike happens, an estimated 3.8 to $4.5 billion. >> are companies prepared for this strike, walk us through the potential impact for consumers given the range? >> for consumers it's pretty bad, half of the consumer goods that come in and out of the country ground to halt. as we speak, truck companies are scrambling to get billions of dollars worth of goods to get them on trailers, also the impact to companies. walmart, ikea, samsung, home depot. major companies. >> the white house is urging both parties to negotiate, can president biden do anything else to move things along. >> he could use federal powers
