ASHEVILLE — Nature’s revenge: Debris is seen in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Monday, Sept. 30, 2024, in Asheville, NC. The rescue effort is becoming a recovery effort as the death toll from Helene reached 150, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday. The storm, considered to be one of the deadliest in U.S. history, became even more dangerous as it barreled far inland to the Blue Ridge Mountains that straddle Tennessee and western North Carolina, which had already experienced several days of rain before Helene made landfall in Florida last Thursday night. The storm knocked out power and cellular service in some towns and cities.

“Communities were wiped off the map,” said North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper during a press conference on Tuesday.

HONG KONG — ‘Feeling their oats,’ People’s Republic celebrates its latest acquisition: Fireworks explode over Victoria Harbour to mark the 75th National Day of the People’s Republic of China, at Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established in 1949 by the Chinese Communist Party. The citizens celebrated in several ways: flag-raising ceremonies with the government liaison office and the PLA Hong Kong military garrison, as well as a women’s association party aboard a cruise ship.

The People’s Republic of China is distinct from the Republic of China, which was established earlier in the 20th century (1912), but whose government retreated to Taiwan after losing the extended Chinese Civil War of 1927-1950.

ATHENS — Nature’s revenge — wildfires rage in Greece: People watch and take photos of a helicopter dropping water on the flames during a third day of a wildfire in Sofiana village, about 142 kilometers (88 miles) west of Athens, Greece, on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024. Hundreds of firefighters and volunteers in southern Greece have fought the wildfire, which has killed two people and devastated a large forested area in the rugged mountains of Corinthia, situated in Greece’s Peloponnese region.

After Greece requested help through the 27-country European Union’s emergency civil protection mechanism, more than 400 firefighters and 22 waterbombing aircraft were fighting the wildfire as of press time Tuesday.

PARIS — Easiest gig he’s ever had? Willem Dafoe wears a creation as part of the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2025 collection presented on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024, in Paris. The fashion magazine W, formerly known as Women’s Wear Daily, published in an Oct. 1 review of the much-touted fashion show, “What would the end of fashion month be without the Miu Miu show? The brand consistently sets the pace for the coming season, earmarking what’ll be the next coveted aesthetic or new It item. With Willem Dafoe, Hilary Swank, and Alexa Chung walking the runway, the sense of character was alive and well.”

The review also quoted fashion designer Miuccia Prada’s take on “Miu Miu Women’s Tales,” the short film series, as a way to “investigate the experience of vanity, to analyze how women see themselves, through their own gaze.”

FRANKFURT — Man-made structure helps habitat for wild birds: Two storks stand in their nest in Wehrheim near Frankfurt, Germany, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024. Storks are special to German culture and folklore. They build large nests, usually near a water source.

Legends about storks have existed since the time of ancient Egypt, with many civilizations believing that they have souls and bring good fortune.

MEXICO — Nature’s revenge — even makes a mess of a hammock: Yahaira García Marín, 32, cleans her damaged house after Hurricane John passed through Coyuca de Benitez, Guerrero state, Mexico, Monday, Sept. 30, 2024. While the U.S. Southeast was ravaged by Hurricane Helene, John hit Mexico’s Pacific coast twice within the past week, first when he made landfall to the east of Acapulco as a Category 3 hurricane, and Friday, when the rejuvenated Tropical Storm John pushed ashore again to the west of Coyuca. “I don’t want to buy anything anymore if this is going to continue happening every year,” said Ms. Marin, who was forced to flee during the night with her 80-year-old grandmother. “It was terrible; we had to grab what little we had and get out,” she recalled.

Officials in Guerrero state, where both Coyuca and Acapulco are located, said more than 3 feet of rain (95 centimeters) had fallen in the region during that period.

WHITE HOUSE — A soft, feel-good moment in the rough seas of an imminent election: President Joe Biden, left, and Olympic swimmer Torri Huske attend an event celebrating the 2024 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Monday, Sept. 30, 2024. During the ceremony, Biden said,  “Whether this was your first time at the Games or the peak of a distinguished career, your legacy is one of discipline, success, joy, and loyalty to one another. And that legacy is part of something bigger than yourselves: It’s about your country, the greatest sports nation in the history of the world.”

Huske, a 21-year-old from Fairfax, Virginia, holds world records in the 4×100-meter medley and 4×100-meter mixed medley. Her mother, an IT expert, immigrated to the United States from China in 1991.
