More than 200 people have died from the effects of Hurricane Hurlin, which hit the southeastern United States last week.

Hurlin is the second-most victimized hurricane in the U.S. in the last 50 years after Katrina.

Reporter Yoon Hyun-sook reports.

North Carolina, U.S., where a super-hurricane 'Hurlin' scratched.

A series of floods and landslides cut off all over the road.

As communication has been cut off, it is also difficult to procure relief supplies.

There are many places where relief supplies are barely delivered by helicopter in a week.

[Brooke Bazick / Aerolux Airline Owner: This valley alone is in complete disrepair. The most noticeable thing is that a few days after Hurlin's passing, no relief has been delivered yet. It's our first time.]

More than 200 people have died in the impact of hurlin, which has hit six southeastern U.S. states, including Florida and Georgia.

It is the biggest damage since Hurricane Katrina killed nearly 1,400 people in 2005.

[Billie / Governor of Tennessee] I've never seen anything like this. It's a really different kind than before. I've been through floods and tornadoes before, but I've never really seen a flood like this before.

More than half of Hurlin's deaths occurred in North Carolina, the worst flood-hit state in a century.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing, but the damage is expected to be greater as many residents are still missing or isolated.U.S. President Joe Biden
visited hurricane-hit areas of Florida and Georgia for the second day in a row, consoling the families of the victims and promising quick recovery assistance to the victims.
