Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region at 11:10 p.m. Thursday, and it has left at least 36 people dead and 4 million without power across Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina.

The storm made landfall in northwestern Florida as a Category 4 storm as forecasters warned the enormous system could create a “nightmare” storm surge and bring dangerous winds and rain across

The storm carved a frightening swath Friday through a series of states usually less vulnerable to hurricane devastation, killing at least 34 in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
