Hurricane Helene tears apart Florida’s Big Bend region

Salon  

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. Dramatic footage shows the astonishing force of Hurricane Helene's storm surge, with entire homes floating away in Steinhatchee, Florida. When the storm first arrived in the Big Bend in Florida it sustained maximum winds of 140 mph, but soon its damages extended hundreds of miles to the north, flooding North Carolina and taking out power both in southern Georgia and parts of Florida. Helene’s landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast comes only a year after the same areas were hit by Hurricane Idalia, the New York Times reported.
