The National Hurricane Center has completed and released the Tropical Cyclone Report of 2024's Hurricane Helene. Helene made landfall in the Florida Big Bend region as a Category 4 Hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). The storm brought historic catastrophic inland flooding and landslides, extreme winds, deadly storm surge, and numerous tornadoes that devastated portions of the southeastern United States and southern Appalachians. Helene was the deadliest hurricane for the contiguous U.S. since Katrina in 2005, with at least 248 fatalities (including at least 175 direct deaths), and produced an estimated $78.7 billion in damage in the United States.
