Hurricane Helene was a life-changing storm, causing devastation across the Southeast last September, and communities are still recovering six months later. The Category 4 hit the Florida Peninsula, bringing a record storm surge to Tampa Bay and winds up to 140 mph.

Southeastern states from Florida to Tennessee are still cleaning up the devastation from Hurricane Helene, six months after the storm made landfall in Florida.

According to the report, Helene is now recognized as the deadliest hurricane in the contiguous United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
