Hurricane Helene live updates: 52 dead in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia


Rescues are ongoing and the cleanup is underway on Saturday after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region Thursday night as a massive Category 4 hurricane — the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Big Bend on record.

The storm surge, wind damage and inland flooding from Helene has been catastrophic, impacting Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Dozens have been killed and millions are still without power.

The remnants of Helene continue to bring rain to areas like Nashville, Paducah, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Detroit.

There are no new flood watches in effect and the overall flood threat is low.
