Busick, North Carolina, a remote town near Mount Mitchell State Park, received 30.78 inches of rain as a result of Helene — a record for the highest rainfall in the Appalachians from a tropical weather system. It beats the 27 inches that fell over the Virginian Appalachians in 1969.

Helene made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region Thursday night as a massive Category 4 hurricane -- the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Big Bend on record.

After hitting Florida’s Gulf Coast, Helene tore through the Southeast, leaving dozens of people dead and millions without power, unleashing historic rain and flooding in parts of Georgia and the Carolinas.

Helene, now a weakened post-tropical cyclone, left chaos and destruction across the Southeast. A damage estimate said the storm will cost billions.

Hurricane Helene made landfall Thursday night as a category 4 hurricane near Perry, Florida, in the state’s Big Bend region. As of Saturday afternoon, CNN reports that there are at least 50 deaths as a direct result of this storm.

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday he has spoken with the governors of Georgia and North Carolina after the states were affected by Hurricane Helene, which has killed more than 100 people, wiping out communications and leaving millions without power.

Former President Donald Trump will visit Georgia after the southeast was battered by Hurricane Helene, while President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris stay in Washington, D.C. — for now. Biden will deliver remarks providing an update on relief efforts from the White House on Monday,
