On Thursday, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida's Gulf Coast as a Category 4 hurricane before moving inland and hitting the southeastern United States. The hurricane was the third to hit the Big Bend region in Florida in 13 months and broke storm surge records across the Gulf Coast.

On Monday afternoon, two million homes and businesses were still without power, and floods continued to devastate counties from Florida to Virginia.
