Helene continues to unleash its fury across the Southeast after leaving at least 55 people dead in five states, leveling communities, knocking out power and stranding many in floodwaters following the historic storm’s landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region Thursday night as a monstrous Category 4 hurricane.

Powerful floods from Hurricane Helene damaged buildings and collapsed bridges in Tennessee and North Carolina on Sept. 27.

At least 44 people died in five states from storm-related causes following Helene’s landfall on Thursday night.

The authorities were evacuating residents living downstream from the Nolichucky Dam, warning it was likely to fail and cause deadly flash flooding after Helene caused record water levels in the area.

Helene's extreme rainfall flooded East Tennessee and caused authorities to issue evacuations in case of dam failures.
