Atlanta is under a Flash Flood warning as tropical storm Helene entered Georgia bringing with it strong winds and rain.

Helene made landfall late Thursday, September 26, as a major category 4 hurricane in the Florida Big Bend region just east of the mouth of the Aucilla River. At landfall, maximum sustained winds were 140 mph. It turned northward as it entered the state of Georgia, steered by a large area of low pressure to the west.

Days of driving rain followed Helene slamming into Florida's Gulf Coast on Thursday night. More than 3 million customers faced power outages over the weekend after unprecedented storm surges, ferocious winds and perilous conditions that extended hundreds of miles inland.

Rescuers are still searching for survivors after heavy rain and wind from Hurricane Helene devastated south-eastern US, leaving more than 60 people dead, destroying homes and causing power outages for millions.

The remnants of Hurricane Helene are dissipating but millions remain without power across the Southeast and officials warned that record-breaking river flooding is ongoing in parts of southern Appalac

Massive rains from powerful Hurricane Helene left people stranded, without shelter and awaiting rescue Saturday.
