In total, nearly 2.5 million homes and businesses in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Virginia are without power after the massive storm swept through the country.

When will power be restored in South Carolina?
People outside the western areas of the Carolinas should have their power restored by 11:59 p.m. Sunday night, according to a post from Duke Energy.
However, "many will be restored before then," Duke Energy said in the post. "This work started even before Helene exited the Carolinas on Friday afternoon."
When did Helene make landfall?
Helene made landfall in Florida's Big Bend on Thursday as a Category 4 hurricane before it weakened to a tropical depression and barreled through the Southeast.
At least 61 people across all five states have died, according to the Weather Channel.
