The devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene is mind-boggling, from Florida through Tennessee. The latest death toll surpassed 200 people.

More than three-quarters of a million homes and businesses are still without power because of the storm and there are entire towns wiped off the face of the Earth.

We hear stories of the rescues and the people that are doing everything they can to help the hurricane victims, and we can do something too.

We can also do something more. On today's Ask The Expert, Linda Braddy joined us. She's the CEO of the American Red Cross North Texas.
