Remnants of Hurricane Helene inflicts more grief
• Helene, a post-tropical cyclone, was expected to stall over the Tennessee Valley through the weekend, and could bring an additional 1 to 2 inches of rain across parts of the Ohio Valley.
• At least 42 deaths have been reported as a result of the storm, which made landfall Thursday night in Florida's Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane. Seventeen people, including children, died in Georgia due to Helene, the governor said after viewing damage in Valdosta.
• More than 3 million customers are without power in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Virginia.
• That includes more than 1.7 million customers in the Carolinas, and 748,000 in Georgia, as the post-tropical cyclone unleashed life-threatening flooding and prompted evacuation warnings.
• A dam in Greene County, Tenn., on the border with North Carolina, is still intact after officials warned of an imminent breach and told residents downstream to move to higher ground.
