Oct. 15 (UPI) -- At least 92 people remain missing in North Carolina, weeks after Hurricane Helene battered the western part of the state, according to Gov. Roy Cooper's updated numbers Tuesday.

"I want to caution that this is not a definitive count, because the task force is continuing its work," Cooper told reporters. "The number will continue to fluctuate as more reports come in and others are resolved."
