Hurricane Helene dissipated Saturday, but massive rains brought by the storm have left many people stranded and without power as cleanup began from the monster tempest that killed scores of people and caused billions of dollars in destruction across a wide swath of the Southeast.

At least 133 deaths have been confirmed.

September 26, Evening Florida Category 4 Hurricane Helene made landfall onshore of Florida’s Big Bend on the evening of September 26. The storm touched down near Perry, Florida, just east of the mouth of the Aucilla River. Winds were sustained at 140 mph with gusts to 155 mph in the eye wall of this storm. The hurricane killed at least 13 people. Helene’s “fierce” and “unstoppable” storm surge has left some homes in Florida completely obliterated and “just rubble,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a news conference Saturday.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

How did this storm get so big and go so far inland? I find it funny the media is ignoring the aftermath. I thought they would be screaming climate change see!! see!!

Katrina would have been ignored if a Democrat were in the White House.

Mostly Red States, so no reason for the Biden Regime to interrupt their fund raising or their weekend.

Plenty of time for government to preposition assets and personnel. But this administration is out of a job in a couple of months so they are not doing their jobs.

We have witnessed a total breakdown of executive leadership - nobody is minding the store, they are asleep at the switch
