At least 120 people have died in several states after Hurricane Helene's passage in the USA. Authorities fear that the figure may rise.

It looks like it could be as many as 600 lost lives, says Liz Sherwood-Randall, responsible for domestic security in the USA.

We know that there are 600 people who are either missing or unaccounted for.

Hurricane Helene reached Florida's coast late on Thursday, local time, with winds of over 60 meters per second. It was quickly downgraded from a five to a two, but still caused significant damage.

Around two million households and businesses were still without power on Monday, according to the website poweroutage.us.
