Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane but weakened to a post-tropical cyclone while causing catastrophic flooding in the southeastern U.S. and southern Appalachians.
As Helene carves a northwest path, forecasters warn of significant flooding in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, exacerbated by expected slow movement over the region.
Preliminary reports indicate storm surge reached 15 feet above ground in Florida’s Big Bend, with estimated rainfall prompting severe flooding concerns across western North Carolina.
At least 40 reported deaths across four states have been linked to Helene, with officials anticipating the toll could rise as rescue efforts continue.
