Videos show Hurricane Helene's impact after making landfall as Category 4 storm
SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Helen is currently affecting Georgia, with over 60 million people under watches and warnings. Initially making landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, it caused at least four deaths and prompted emergency declarations from multiple southeastern governors. In Tampa, residual flooding remains, with authorities conducting around 87 water rescues. Damage in Tallahassee is localized, primarily from falling trees, leading to widespread power outages that have decreased from over a million to 800,000 customers. Governor DeSantis emphasized the importance of rapid power restoration, and the Coast Guard successfully rescued a man and his dog from a disabled sailboat.
Helene caused flooding and knocked out power for Floridians after it made landfall over the Big Bend area Thursday night as a Category 4 hurricane. Videos captured flooding caused by the storm and the aftermath Friday morning after it moved north.
