The dangerous storm brought flash flooding and damaging winds to North Carolina as it cut inland after making landfall.
Hurricane Helene, which has now weakened to a tropical storm, is bringing dual threats of wind and flooding to Trump National Golf Club Charlotte in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Helene made landfall late Thursday night about 10 miles west of Perry, Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The storm was a Category 4 hurricane at the time, with maximum sustained winds at around 140 mph. The storm brought life-threatening storm surge, devastating winds and torrential rain to the area, which contributed to excessive flooding across several Florida cities. Seventeen people have died from the storm, the Associated Press reported.
The storm has quickly moved through the Sunshine State and is now a tropical storm with winds of 60 mph over Georgia and South Carolina. As it moves further inland, the massive storm has brought flooding and winds across North Carolina, including in Iredell County where former president Donald Trump’s golf club is located.
