The National Hurricane Center releases its final report on Hurricane Helene.
The storm made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane before traveling North, causing catastrophic flooding, extreme winds and killing hundreds across the south.
Helene is responsible for at least 249 deaths, including 18 in Tennessee. Fifteen of those died from the flooding, one died because of possible medical issues or incidents from storm cleanup and the last two are unknown.
During search efforts, at least three people from North Carolina were found in Tennessee.
The report went on to say that the river gauge on the Pigeon River in Newport measured the river level go six-feet higher than the previous recorded crest, something that stood for over 120 years.
The Nolichucky River also saw record-breaking flooding in Greene County when it crested nine-feet above its previous all-time record.
