August brings ominous hurricane season news. Is another Helene on the way?
The beginning of August brings skyrocketing hurricane risk, a new potential system off the East Coast and a reminder that devastating storms can quickly intensify into disaster. Historical trends show that August is often the pivot point for hurricane season, and forecasters say current conditions point toward an uptick in tropical activity. The beginning of the month also brought a new weather system that forecasters were watching off East Coast, but so far the danger appears low. It's too soon to know what will happen as the 2025 hurricane season progresses, but last year's season serves as a reminder of why it's important to be informed and prepare. 2024 saw brutal storm activity, including Hurricane Helene that devastated the Southeast in late September killing 248 people and causing $78.7 billion in damage. Throughout its path from northwest of Steinhatchee, Florida, on Sept. 26 and through Tennessee and North Carolina, the storm also injured 117 others and forced the high-water rescues of more than 2,700 people, a National Hurricane Center report published in March revealed. The 2024 hurricane season also included devastating storms Beryl, Milton and John, whose names along with Helene, have been retired out of the World Meteorological Organization's rotating alphabetical basis of hurricane names due to their severity. As forecasters and residents in hurricane-prone regions brace for more danger, here's a look back at the destructive power of Hurricane Helene.
