As one of the largest storms the Gulf of Mexico has seen in the last century, Helene’s effects are widespread, bringing catastrophic flooding, damaging winds, and life-threatening conditions even hundreds of miles inland.

Power is out for more than 3 million customers across four states and may not be restored for weeks.
