High Wind in Northwest Cocke, Tennessee

Numerous trees were felled by Helene's prolonged high wind event, causing over 4,000 customers to be without power at the height of the storm per the local utility company.

Tropical Storm Helene caps off a several day heavy rainfall event in association with a stalled closed upper low that drew a stream of tropical moisture into the area on the 25th and 26th. The arrival of Helene on the 27th yielded catastrophic flash flooding and river flooding, as well as significant wind damage as wet soils and strong wind gusts led to forest damage.
