Hurricane Helene was a deadly tropical cyclone in September 2024 that hit many different areas in Southeastern United States such as Western North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, and Georgia. Hurricane Helene formed from a broad low-pressure system in the western Caribbean Sea, which then intensified rapidly as it moved across the Gulf of Mexico, fueled by abnormally warm ocean temperatures and low wind shear, eventually becoming a Category 4 hurricane. This disaster caused a lot of damages in the mountains, where severe flooding and landslides left many communities in ruins. Hurricane Helene was responsibly for at least 250 deaths.
