Storm Helene, which made landfall in Florida as a category four hurricane, has now weakened to a tropical storm but continues to pose "life-threatening" conditions. It has caused severe flooding in Georgia, where two people died, and in Florida, where a falling sign killed one. Over 3 million people are without power, with rainfall expected to reach up to 20 inches in some areas, leading to catastrophic flash flooding. Rescue efforts are ongoing, as communities assess the extensive damage across the southeastern United States.
