With each massive Thud Weve seen huge plumes of smoke rising over this residential neighborhood thats a stronghold of the hezbollah militant group. The Israeli Military had warned residents hours ago to leave the area, but jose, these are some of the largest blasts that weve seen in the two weeks since we took up this position, and it comes as the latest in israels expanded assault against hezbollah as it attacks and kills its leadership up and down lebanon.

Reporter Vice President Kamala Harris touching down in charlotte, North Carolina, meeting with Hurricane Helene survivors and receiving briefings on the recovery. I came here to find out whats going on the ground, to find out what more we can do in terms of federal aid. Reporter like many disaster responses, the recovery is proving to be complicated and, at times, slow. Nine days after the storm many residents hear they may not have running water for weeks. Crews are still doing searchandrescue missions and the remote communities are struggling with connectivity. Our communications are down. I still dont have any internet. Reporter the National Guard invited Nbc News to see the challenges ahead. We can see things that Ground Rescuers cant.

Reporter fema and the North Carolina department of Public Safety even publishing Web Pages to debunk rumors. Despite those challenges, the mission is ongoing as families attempt to move forward. I mean, it has been very challenging. Its been the power out. We have were going to have a generator. Antonia, what is fema telling you about what theyve been able to do there .

What did the Insurance Company tell you . Were very sorry, you know, thats why we encourage you to to buy flood insurance. Reporter more than a week after helene, this is where the Water Level is in brusos backyard. At the peak the water got all the way up there. Look at the leaves trapped along the balcony fence. Like Tens Of Thousands of people in Helenes Path of destruction, the brusos dont have flood insurance. In fact, an nbc News Analysis shows only about 2 of homes had flood insurance. Ashevilles Bunkham County had less than 1 of homes protected. You really dont see many private insurance policies covering flooding. We know thats going to be a special effort. Reporter fema does offer some help for people affected by Floods Who dont have flood insurance, but payments are typically a fraction of the amount needed for repairs, an amount that could bankrupt a typical household leaving families like the brusos in limbo. I dont think im going to come back here. I dont think its worth rebuilding. And jesse joins us from North Carolina. Cell service is finally returning .
