Days after Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane, more than 3 million customers remain without power. At least 65 deaths have been confirmed as a result of the storm, at least a third of whom were killed by falling trees.

For several hours, the storm maintained hurricane strength as it pushed inland across northern Florida and into Georgia. By 5 a.m. ET, the National Hurricane Center said Helene was a tropical storm with sustained winds of 70 mph.
