Hurricane 'Helena' is gone, but millions of Americans are still without power.

Hurricane 'Helena' left one and a half million Americans without electricity

Millions of Americans in the southeast and east of the United States continue to remain without electricity due to the catastrophic hurricane 'Helena', which became the most powerful since 1958.

On the sixth day after the arrival of hurricane 'Helena', one and a half million consumers remain without power in the United States. These data were published by the specialized American portal PowerOutage. It reports that there are power outages in four states: Florida, Virginia, Georgia, North and South Carolina. The most serious consequences were in South Carolina (614 thousand consumers), Georgia (462 thousand), and North Carolina (371 thousand).

The affected Americans have been without electricity for three to five days. Hurricane 'Helena' passed on September 26 from the Gulf of Mexico and, starting from Florida, reached Virginia.

"Heavy rains from the remnants of hurricane 'Helena' ended three days of extreme rainfall, leading to catastrophic floods and incredible damage in our mountains and southern foothills. Documenting the full scale of the consequences will take years, not to mention recovering from it," said the climate management of North Carolina. ABC News clarifies that the number of deaths due to the hurricane and its consequences has increased to at least 159 people.

Earlier it was reported that on Friday, September 27, hurricane 'Helena' caused huge destruction throughout the southeast of the USA. According to journalists, the hurricane caused catastrophic destruction in several states, including Florida, Georgia, North, and South Carolina. As a result of the disaster, millions of people were left without electricity, and numerous communities were literally wiped off the map.
