Video: Friday at 4 p.m., flooding on St. Armands Circle from Hurricane Helene This video from the Sarasota Police Department illustrates how the flooding that followed Hurricane Helene on St. Armands Circle in Sarasota continued all day Friday.
As Hurricane Helene continued to wreak devastation over the Southeast on Saturday, it claimed the lives of at least 63 people in different states and left over 2.5 million customers without power from Florida to Ohio. The storm, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida on Thursday night. The National Hurricane Center reported that late Friday night, Helene was still producing “catastrophic, historic” flooding in the southern Appalachians even after it had weakened to a post-tropical cyclone.
According to the hurricane center, Helene was predicted to linger over the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and Sunday. There were also high wind advisories for portions of Ohio and Tennessee.
