The Devastation of Helene Spreads from Florida to the Carolinas

Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc across the southeastern United States, leaving a path of destruction from Florida all the way up into the Carolinas. The powerful Category 4 storm made landfall on Florida’s gulf coast, causing widespread damage and claiming the lives of more than a dozen people. Millions were left without electricity as the storm tore through communities, uprooting trees, destroying homes, and flooding streets.

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene extended beyond coastal areas, reaching into the mountains of North Carolina where the storm’s strong winds and heavy rains continued to wreak havoc. The aftermath of the storm painted a grim picture of destruction, with rescue efforts underway to help those affected by the storm.

As communities across the region begin to assess the damage and work towards recovery, the impact of Hurricane Helene serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power of nature. The resilience and strength of those affected by the storm will be tested in the coming days and weeks as they work to rebuild and recover from the devastation left in Helene’s wake.
