By James Gordon For Dailymail.com and Reuters
States across the Southeastern U.S. started a massive cleanup and recovery effort on Sunday after winds, rain and storm surges from Hurricane Helene knocked out power for millions, destroyed roads and bridges, and caused catastrophic flooding.
The devastation stretched along a string of east coast states as the storm killed at least 93 people in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia with officials fearing even more bodies will be discovered.
After roaring shore in Florida, a weakened Helene quickly moved through Georgia, then soaked the Carolinas and Tennessee with torrential rains that flooded creeks and rivers while pushing dams to be close to bursting.
Damage estimates ranged from $15 billion to more than $100 billion, insurers and forecasters said over the weekend.
The total amount of property damage and lost economic output will become clearer as officials assess the destruction.
