ALABAMA - Over three days, Hurricane Helene devastated much of the Southeast region of the US, killing more than 100 people and leaving millions without power. The states of Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas were among the states that got the worst part, with a preliminary damage report estimating that the Category 4 storm caused billions of dollars in damages, making it one of the costliest in U.S. history.
Helene made landfall in Florida on Sept. 26, heavily impacting the state's Big Bend coast with winds at 140 mph.
