More than 230 people have been killed from Hurricane Helene since it landed in the southeastern U.S., unleashing devastation across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

Helene made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region last week as a massive Category 4 hurricane.

It has become the deadliest mainland hurricane since Katrina in 2005.
