Hurricane Helene roared ashore late Thursday in Florida's Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane with 225 km winds. A weakened Helene quickly moved through Georgia, then soaked the Carolinas and Tennessee with torrential rains that flooded creeks and rivers and strained dams. But in a follow-up message Saturday, Turner said help had not arrived in time to save her parents, both in their 70s, and her six-year-old nephew. The roof collapsed and the three drowned.
Law enforcement was making plans to send officers to places that still had water, food or gas because of reports of arguments and threats of violence, the county sheriff said.
