Helene was a Category 4 storm when it hit near Perry, in Florida State, on Thursday, September 26th.

At least 200 people were claimed by the Hurricane following its damaging wind gusts as well as “catastrophic, life-threatening [and] record-breaking” flooding in many areas.

The higher terrains of the southeastern Appalachians were reportedly the most affected by the floods.

Emergency crews have been working around the clock to conduct rescue missions as hundreds more remain missing according to reports by NBC News.
