Days after Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane, more than 3 million customers remain without power. At least 65 deaths have been confirmed as a result of the storm, at least a third of whom were killed by falling trees.

Helene has torn through the Southeast, killing more than four dozen people, in what a North Carolina county official called the "most significant natural disaster" the region has experienced in recent years.

After Hurricane Helene made landfall in the Big Bend of Florida, it caused flooding conditions throughout the Southeast, including the Tarheel State.
