Hurricane Helene landed as a catastrophic storm. <\/h3>\n<p>Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm on Thursday, Sept. 26 in Florida&#8217;s Big Bend, causing hundreds of deaths in multiple states. Hundreds of people are still missing and more than one million remain without power. Helene is the strongest storm to ever hit Big Bend, which has not fully recovered from Hurricanes Debby and Idalia. The enormous storm moved through Florida and into Georgia and the Carolinas, where it triggered massive flooding, landslides, and tornadoes. The storm first hit Cuba with 16-foot coastal waves, leaving entire neighborhoods under water.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/weather\/live-blog\/hurricane-helene-live-updates-rcna173767\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Source: NBC News<\/em><\/small><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>2. Millions were in the storm&#8217;s path.<\/h3>\n<p>People who survived Hurricane Helene described water rising to their chests and homes collapsing into the ocean as the storm surge reached up to 20 feet. Dozens were rescued from their cars and roofs, including a group of people stuck atop a hospital in Tennessee. Millions in the storm&#8217;s path are now without power or stuck in shelters, with officials warning power outages could last for weeks. Hurricane Helene&#8217;s path of destruction stretched across 500 miles and included vital infrastructure, including bridges, roads, power lines, and water systems. The storm&#8217;s highest death toll came in North Carolina, where residents described being &#8220;unprepared&#8221; for the storm&#8217;s ferocity.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/09\/30\/weather\/hurricane-helene-recovery-cleanup-monday\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Sources: CNN<\/em><\/small><\/a><small><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/09\/27\/hurricane-helene-florida-damages-00181421\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em> + Politico<\/em><\/small><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. Hurricane Helene is estimated to be one of the costliest storms in US history.<\/h3>\n<p>Even after its winds weakened from 140 mph, Hurricane Helene continued to unleash deadly flooding as a downgraded tropical storm. &#8220;It\u2019s hard to take in. However bad we imagined it would be, it\u2019s so much worse in the daylight,&#8221; said Michael Bobbit, a homeowner in Cedar Key, Florida, who believes it will take years for neighbors in his small town to recover. Hurricane Helene is estimated to have inflicted $95-110 billion in total damage and economic loss, making it one of the costliest storms in US history.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hurricane-helene-florida-georgia-mexico-42fb7cc90604b7f87179920f97627873\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Sources: AP<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/crm2k04m2gxo\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>, BBC<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/09\/28\/nx-s1-5132035\/death-toll-from-hurricane-helene-mounts-as-aftermath-assessment-begins\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>NPR<\/em><\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<h3>4.
