Hurricane Helene tore through Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, leaving behind a trail of devastation after the Category 4 hurricane made landfall Thursday night in the rural Big Bend in Florida, the Associated Press reported.
After the hurricane made landfall and generated a record-breaking storm surge, emergency crews rushed Friday to rescue those trapped in flooded homes. The storm has claimed the lives of at least 21 people so far across the four states.
