Hurricane Helene caused devastating damage across the southeastern United States when it made landfall in Florida last September. The deadliest hurricane in the US since Katrina in 2005, it brought 140mph winds and caused an estimated £61.8billion ($78.7bn) worth of damage.

The state of Georgia bore the brunt of that damage. National Hurricane Center reports say falling trees and high winds killed 37 people statewide, while at least 362 buildings were destroyed in Augusta and surrounding counties. Over 6,500 other buildings reported damage ranging from mild to severe.
