Helene is officially one of the worst hurricanes of our lifetimes.

Axios:

Hurricane Helene’s death toll surpassed 200 on Thursday as rescue crews searched for survivors, one week after the major storm made landfall in Florida and brought flooding rains across the U.S. Southeast.

The big picture: The at least 215 deaths confirmed so far make the storm the third-deadliest of the 21st century, after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 (1,392 deaths) and Hurricane Maria in 2017 (at least 2,975 deaths).

State of play: The “only other hurricane deadlier than Helene over the past 60 years was Camille,” per Yale Climate Connections.  

The death toll from this is likely a lot higher than then 200 that has been reported. Helene was the Hurricane Camille of the 21st century.
