## Caption

Hurricane Helene barreled into Florida's Big Bend region on Sept. 26 as a Category 4 storm, bringing 140 mph winds and a 15-foot storm surge to parts of the Gulf Coast.

The sheer size of the storm and the mountainous topography of the region played a major role in the devastating flooding that the community in Asheville, North Carolina experienced.

Head to the link in bio for why meteorologists say the flooding in this particular area was so extreme.
