Death toll rises as Helene unleashes catastrophic flooding across Southeast, knocks out power to millions

See NN2N1’s report on the ground here.

[FoxNews] The remnants of Helene continued its onslaught across the Southeast Friday, with nearly 4 dozen dead across multiple states and hundreds rescued from floodwaters.

The Category 4 hurricane made landfall along Florida’s Big Bend region late Thursday with estimated sustained winds of 140 mph.

Post-landfall, the hurricane quickly weakened, but its torrential rains and gusty winds continued hundreds of miles inland, with feet of rain being reported over the Appalachians.

At least 45 deaths have been reported so far, including 19 in South Carolina, 15 in Georgia, eight in Florida, two in North Carolina and one in Virginia.

#4 Southern Middle TN - we got off easy so far - storm did a right hook from the east of us to the north, other than steady rain not much impact. Worst damage I could find is a building collapsed in the county to the west of us.

#7 I had high winds and torrential rain. Since I live on the side of a mountain I didn't get flooded but did lose power and shingles with leaks in the house. I have many friends near Erwin and other areas that were flooded. The hospital is totaled. Newport is also totaled. Ashville is pretty much cut off.
