Hurricane Helene has devastated parts of the southeastern U.S., leaving at least 44 dead across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia. The Category 4 storm, with winds reaching 140 mph, caused widespread destruction when it made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region. Entire neighborhoods were flooded, homes were destroyed, and power outages affected over 3 million residents across multiple states.

Among the victims were three firefighters, a woman with her one-month-old twins, and an elderly woman whose home was hit by a tree.

 The damage is projected to cost between $15 billion and $26 billion. Major flooding also impacted areas like Atlanta, which recorded over 28 cm of rain in two days, and emergency rescues were conducted as far north as Tennessee, where hospital patients had to be evacuated due to rising waters. 

The storm has weakened to a post-tropical cyclone but continues to cause flooding and tornado threats.

 Tropical Storm Helene is heading towards Virginia after previously making landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane. 

Despite weakening to a tropical storm with winds around 70 mph, the storm remains dangerous, particularly due to life-threatening storm surges and heavy rainfall. 

Helene caused widespread destruction in Florida and Georgia, including significant flooding and power outages, leaving millions without electricity. 

Although its winds have weakened, residents in Virginia and surrounding areas are still being advised to prepare for damaging winds, flooding, and potential power outages as the storm progresses inland.
