Helene death toll tops 100 as Southeast digs out from storm's devastation

The number of storm-related deaths climbed past 100 across the Southeast on Sunday as authorities rushed to airdrop supplies, restore power and clear roads after massive rains from the powerful Helene left people stranded and without shelter. 

Helene has left at least 116 people dead, CBS News has confirmed, and caused widespread destruction.

Several people have asked how they can help and where to send donations.

With the destruction and damage so widespread as well as comms being down, I don't know how you'd contact anybody in the area. My first instinct would be to donate cash, food, or clothing to the Salvation Army or check with your church to see if they've got something going on. If you live in the South and your city/county is sending rescue crews, you might want to consider giving your donations of money or goods to them.

If any of you have ideas, please leave them in the comments below for other readers who might want to help but don't know how.
