Hurricane Helene knocked out power for millions of customers across the southeast United States on Friday and left at least four dead after it slammed into the Florida coast.
As it weakened into a tropical storm, Helene moved inland across Georgia and South Carolina, flooding roads and homes, and officials warned of flash floods and landslides from up to 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain.
"This rainfall will likely result in catastrophic and potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding, along with significant and record river flooding," the National Hurricane Center said.
"Numerous significant landslides are expected in steep terrain across the southern Appalachians."
Four people had died from conditions caused by Helene as of early Friday—one in Florida, one in North Carolina and two in Georgia.
