Hurricane Helene caused devastation in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, with storm surges, fallen trees, and power outages affecting millions. A doorbell camera captured the storm surge in Cedar Key, Florida, moments before being submerged by floodwater. A firefighter in Georgia was killed by a falling tree in Pierce County, while strong waves battered downtown Charleston, South Carolina. Despite the storm weakening to a Category 1, over 2 million people remain without power in the southeastern U.S. Hurricane and tropical storm warnings in Florida have been lifted or downgraded, but a storm surge warning remains in effect for some areas. The National Hurricane Center warns that Georgia is facing a “life-threatening situation” as Helene moves through the state. Residents are advised to shelter from the storm and stay away from windows. Tallahassee, Florida avoided the worst of the hurricane, but the storm still poses a significant threat to 12 states. The full extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Helene remains unclear, but power infrastructure is expected to be damaged for weeks or even months in some areas.
