Hurricane Helene dissipated on Saturday, but the massive rains caused by the storm have left many people stranded and without power as cleanup efforts began after the monster storm that killed dozens of people and caused billions of dollars in destruction across much of the Southeast caused.

At least 133 deaths have been confirmed.

September 26th, evening

Florida

• Category 4 Hurricane Helene made landfall on the coast of Big Bend, Florida, on the evening of September 26th. The storm made landfall near Perry, Florida, east of the mouth of the Aucilla River.
• The eyewall of this storm experienced sustained winds of 140 mph and gusts of up to 155 mph.
• The hurricane killed at least 13 people.
• Helene’s “violent” and “unstoppable” storm surge has completely destroyed some homes in Florida and “just reduced them to rubble,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said at a news conference on Saturday.

September 27th, morning

South Georgia

• Hurricane Helene was downgraded to a Category 1 storm upon landfall in South Georgia and then developed into a tropical storm.
• Sustained wind speeds in the area decreased to 70 mph. Life-threatening winds, flash flooding, rainfall and storm surge are currently occurring across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
• Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp told reporters at a news conference in Augusta that the storm “literally spared no one.” Most people in and around Augusta, a city of about 200,000 people near the South Carolina border, were still without power Monday, WABE reports.
• Helene moved northeast into Georgia, where it was downgraded to a tropical storm Friday morning, but winds and flooding claimed 25 lives in the state.

September 27th, afternoon

North Carolina

• Mandatory evacuations were in place for some residents of Asheville in western North Carolina as “catastrophic rainfall” caused severe flooding in the area – forcing over 100 people to be rescued, according to Gov. Roy Cooper.
• Asheville, North Carolina, received a total of 13.98 inches (35.52 centimeters) of rain from September 25 to 27, according to the National Weather Service.
• At least 40 people died in the Asheville area, and a tornado injured 15 in Rocky Mount and 600 people remain missing in Buncombe County, North Carolina, which includes Asheville.
• “We are doing our best,” Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller said of conditions that make it nearly impossible to reach those stranded due to collapsed roads, faulty infrastructure and widespread flooding.
• Helene later moved to parts of Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

September 27th, evening

Tennessee

• Dangerous flooding quickly surrounded Unicoi County Hospital in Tennessee and entered the building. Many inside could no longer be safely evacuated and had to move to the roof, according to the hospital.
• 73 people reportedly remain missing in Unicoi County, TN.
• Although the heavy rain passed, many parts of Northeast Tennessee remained flooded, the emergency management agency said Saturday. “All roads should be classified as potentially dangerous,” she warned.

September 28, Aftermath

• Helene’s “violent” and “unstoppable” storm surge has completely destroyed some homes in Florida and “just reduced them to rubble,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said at a news conference on Saturday.
• Over 200 people have been rescued from flooding in North Carolina.
• “This is obviously a catastrophic event, historic. People in western North Carolina say they’ve never seen anything like it. Our priority right now is getting people out and getting supplies in,” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper told MSNBC. “Many people are still stranded.”

September 30th

West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland

• There is an increased risk of flooding in Virginia and West Virginia on Monday. The already saturated ground could receive an additional 1 to 2 inches of rain, which could lead to flash flooding.
• Over the weekend, rescuers struggled to clear streets and recover bodies. The death toll stands at 132 and rising, and up to 600 are still missing.

Although Hurricane Helene has weakened, trouble is brewing on the Gulf Coast as another tropical disturbance develops.

According to the National Hurricane Center, a “large, disorganized low pressure area” in the western Caribbean is creating conditions that could lead to a 40 percent chance of tropical disturbances next week.
