Photos: The Aftermath of Hurricane Helene

Late Thursday night, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, with winds gusting up to 140 mph. The storm then crashed inland, causing wind damage and severe flooding that killed at least 120 people across six southeastern states, according to the Associated Press. Millions remain without power as first responders work to reach those in need and search for survivors. Gathered below are images from the past weekend, showing some of the devastation in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
