27.09.2024 ⇢ The Day Helene Ravaged the Southeast
⌨
Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm, causing widespread destruction and power outages. As it moved inland, weakening to a tropical storm, it continued to wreak havoc across Georgia and the Carolinas. The death toll rose steadily throughout the day, reaching at least 40 by evening. Millions were left without power, and rescuers raced to free those trapped by floodwaters. In international news, Israel conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut, reportedly targeting the group's leader. Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly, vowing to continue degrading Hezbollah. In domestic politics, New York Mayor Eric Adams pleaded not guilty to federal bribery and fraud charges, while the DOJ indicted three Iranians for hacking Trump's 2020 campaign.
