Helene lashes the South with wind and sheets of rain. Millions are without power
SUMMARY: Hurricane Helene made landfall near the Aucilla River in Florida, resembling the impact of Hurricane Idalia from the previous year. As the hurricane crossed into Georgia, residents, including a family in Valdosta, sought shelter amid widespread power outages. Helene weakened to a tropical storm with maximum winds of 70 mph, moving north and causing flash flood warnings as it struck southern states. Over 1.2 million homes lost power, and curfews were instituted in certain areas for safety. Helene is the eighth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which is expected to be above average this year.
