Hurricane Helene, one of the most powerful storms to hit the US in recent history, has left a trail of destruction across the southeastern states. The death toll has climbed to at least 47, with officials fearing further casualties as search and rescue efforts continue. Damage estimates range from US$95 billion to US$110 billion, potentially making it one of the most expensive storms in modern history.

Downgraded late on Friday to a post-tropical cyclone, the remnants of Helene continued to produce heavy rains across several states, sparking massive flooding that threatened to cause dam failures that could inundate entire towns. At least three million customers remained without power yesterday afternoon across five states, with authorities warning it could be several days before services were fully restored. The worst outages were in South Carolina with more than 1 million homes and businesses without power, and Georgia where 750,000 were without power.
Police and firefighters carried out thousands of water rescues throughout the affected states on Friday. “All right folks, listen up, Chimney Rock is gone, Flowering Bridge is gone,” somebody known as Touristpov posted on TikTok, showing videos of the destruction. “I don’t know what they’ll do to get us out of here.”
“Spruce Pine is gone, nothing but rooftops poking out of water,” she said of the mountain community about 50 miles northeast of Asheville.
