🌀Hurricane Helene left an enormous path of destruction across Florida and the southeastern 🇺🇸 U.S. on Friday, killing at least 45 people, snapping towering oaks like twigs and tearing apart homes as rescue crews launched desperate missions to save people from floodwaters.

Among those killed were three firefighters, a woman and her 1-month-old twins, and an 89-year-old woman whose house was struck by a falling tree. According to an Associated Press tally, the deaths occurred in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

The Category 4 hurricane knocked out power to some hospitals in southern Georgia, and Gov. Brian Kemp said authorities had to use chainsaws to clear debris and open up roads. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph) when it made landfall late Thursday in a sparsely populated region in Florida’s rural Big Bend area, home to fishing villages and vacation hideaways where the state’s panhandle and peninsula meet.

Moody’s Analytics said it expects $15 billion to $26 billion in property damage.

The wreckage extended hundreds of miles northward to northeast Tennessee, where a “ dangerous rescue situation ” by helicopter unfolded after 54 people were moved to the roof of the Unicoi County Hospital as water rapidly flooded the facility. Everyone was rescued and no one was left at the hospital as of late Friday afternoon, Ballad Health said.


In North Carolina, a lake featured in the movie “Dirty Dancing” overtopped a dam and surrounding neighborhoods were evacuated, although there were no immediate concerns it would fail. People also were evacuated from Newport, Tennessee, a city of about 7,000 people, amid concerns about a dam near there, although officials later said the structure had not failed.

Foreign AffairsRussia To Launch Satellites For Niger, Mali & Burkina Faso (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 8:05pm On Sep 24, 2024

The West African bloc of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso is working with 🇷🇺 Russia to launch at least two satellites, an official statement said on Tuesday.

Col. Assimi Goita, the president of Mali and current chair of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), discussed the project with Ilya Tarasenko, the head of Russian space company Glavkosmos, along with officials from Niger and Burkina Faso in Mali’s capital Bamako on Monday.

The project comes in response “to the challenges of sovereignty, security and development of the region,” said the statement.

The AES is an alliance of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger formed last September. The three nations withdrew from the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, which had threatened to intervene militarily in Niger following a coup in that country last year.

The statement said the satellites, including one for communications and another for remote sensing, will “strengthen the digital infrastructure through better internet coverage, as well as the broadcasting of radio and television in the AES countries.”

It added the constellation of earth observation satellites will provide high-resolution satellite imagery for various strategic sectors such as agriculture, health, education, as well as security and defense, particularly for border control and risk and disaster prevention.

The AES states are also planning to train local experts in space technology.

“It is not only a question of benefiting from Russian technologies, but of training local experts who, in the long term, will ensure autonomous management of these infrastructures,” said Nigerien Communications Minister Sidi Mohamed Raliou.

A 🇷🇺 Russian Soyuz capsule landed on the Kazakh steppe on Monday, bringing two Russian cosmonauts and a U.S. astronaut back to Earth after a stint on the International Space Station (ISS).

The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub, Oleg Kononenko and NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson landed at 1159 GMT.

Kononenko and Chub had been part of the ISS crew since last September, completing a 374-day mission. Dyson's stay was shorter, lasting 184 days.
