“Hurricane Helen wreaked havoc across Florida and the southeastern United States on Friday, killing at least 44 people, snapping tall oak trees and destroying homes,” the newspaper writes.
The dead included three firefighters, a woman with month-old twins and an 89-year-old woman whose house was damaged by a falling tree, it said.
A Category 4 hurricane knocked out power to some hospitals in southern Georgia.
The hurricane had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 km/h) when it made landfall late Thursday in a sparsely populated region in Florida’s rural Big Bend, home to fishing villages and vacation hideaways where the peninsula meets the peninsula.
It is emphasized that the hurricane caused losses from 15 to 26 billion dollars.
We will remind
On September 27, Hurricane Helen hit Florida, causing massive blackouts and record storm surges. It subsequently weakened to a tropical storm, moving further inland.
