Hurricane Helene struck Florida and the southeastern US on Friday, causing widespread destruction and claiming at least 44 lives.
Among the casualties were three firefighters, a woman and her one-month-old twins, and an 89-year-old woman whose home was crushed by a falling tree.
Helene was the most powerful storm on record to hit Florida's Big Bend region, making landfall overnight on Thursday before moving north into Georgia and the Carolinas.
