Millions of homes and businesses remain without power across the Southeast as the region reels from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and its remnants.
Hundreds of water rescues have taken place across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia since Helene’s brutal landfall in Florida’s Big Bend area late Thursday.
Atlanta totaled more than 11 inches of rain in 48 hours, smashing a record that stood for almost 150 years. Western North Carolina took the brunt of the devastating rains, and more than 30 inches was recorded in some areas. Houses floated away from subdivisions , bridges crumbled, semi-trucks were tossed into mangled piles. Mud, tree branches and food from local grocery stores flowed into the streets.
Here’s the latest information regarding power outages in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.
