Helene Is Now Among Top 10 Costliest U.S. Hurricanes

Hurricane Helene caused nearly $79 billion in damage, according to a new report from NOAA. That ranks it as one of the costliest hurricanes ever on record in the U.S. The storm’s path of destruction stretched from Florida into North Carolina and beyond. It will take years for some areas to recover. Many organizations are still working in the area and accepting donations to help survivors, including the American Red Cross and the North Carolina Community Foundation Disaster Relief Fund.
