WXOW-TV ABC 19 LA CROSSE What Hurricane Helene's 500-mile path of destruction looks like VIDEOS/PHOTOS: Hurricane Helene laid waste to the southeastern United States. Its sheer wind force and deadly floods left behind a path of destruction stretching over 500 miles from Florida to the Southern Appalachians. In just 48 hours, vast swaths of the region became unrecognizable. The storm has caused at least 130 deaths, and officials fear the toll could rise as many people remain unaccounted for. Communities were cut off and stranded as floodwaters washed away hundreds of roads, buildings, homes and vehicles. Communication infrastructure is in shreds. Millions of people have also lost power and access to water across at least six states. Helene's path of devastation started on Florida's Gulf Coast, as it traveled to the Big Bend. CNN WEATHER Related Video: Boat motor used to battle Florida house fire sparked by Helene How 'armadillos' could be latest sideshow stoppers in California's capital city VIDEO: Stopping sideshows with a piece of plastic—that's what traffic safety advocates are pushing in the city of Sacramento. They're called "armadillos" because the curved roadway dividers resemble the small animal with an armored shell. The plastic bumps get a driver's attention if they're run over, and at high speed, they could cause a tire to loose traction. Cities like St. Louis have installed them along bike lanes. Now, traffic safety advocate Isaac Gonzalez said they could also be placed in Sacramento intersections to prevent reckless driving. "This discourages people from being able to do burnouts, donuts, sideshows," said Gonzalez, founder of Slow Down Sacramento. Margarita Chavez is sick of seeing sideshows in her south Sacramento neighborhood. Many nearby intersections are covered with burnt-out tire marks. KOVR-TV CBS 13 SACRAMENTO Mississippi fire department unveils restored 85-year-old ladder truck VIDEO: The City of Hattiesburg unveiled the reconstruction of its first fire ladder truck. Restoring the 85-year-old truck became a passion project for the Hub City in the last 10 years. The truck, which was purchased in 1939, had been sitting in disrepair since the early 2000s. The project to restore the truck began after Sherrocko Stewart became the fire chief in 2018. Several local businesses and organizations helped locate and build new parts for the vehicle. "When I saw the project, I knew that I needed to be a part of it. I want to see it through. So, we went through the process. It took years, but we finally completed it last year," said Stewart. The truck is named "The Barksdale," after former Fire Chief Ed Barksdale. WJTV CBS/CW 12 JACKSON PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
