Hurricane Helene is a record-breaking storm. It brought unprecedented storm surges to Florida's Gulf Coast, surpassing previous records set by Hurricane Idalia in 2023[1]. In Asheville, North Carolina, river levels reached historic heights, exceeding records set in 1916[2]. Additionally, Helene caused widespread devastation across the southeastern United States, with significant rainfall and flooding[5][6].
