财联社9月28日电，美国南部经历了100多年来最严重的洪水，飓风“海伦”的残余势力席卷该地区，造成至少44人死亡，数百万人断电，大坝压力大，潜在损失超过1000亿美元。

飓风“海伦”（Helene）星期五（9月27日）开始在美国南部造成大规模的破坏，暴风雨和龙卷风引发泥石流和水坝濒临垮塌，墨西哥湾沿岸部分地区仍泡在水中，东南部4个州已有至少44人死亡，400多万户民宅与商店无电可用。

综合《纽约时报》及美联社报导，飓风“海伦”造成的破坏从南佛罗里达州延伸至北卡罗来纳州和田纳西州的山区。

海伦过境后留下一片狼藉，停在港湾的船只翻覆、路树倒塌、车辆灭顶、街道沦为一片汪洋。

Pray for the farmers. They work so hard as it is and many can't afford flood insurance and virtually none have hurricane insurance. #Helene took their livelihood. pic.twitter.com/Dfd8tj0486

担心水坝溃决 居民被令撤离

在田纳西州，由于担心纽波特市（Newport）附近的沃特斯（Walters）水坝将溃决，官员下令要市区居民撤离，有3万6000名居民将被疏散。

北卡罗来纳州另一座水坝也濒临溃堤。官员警告路尔湖大坝（Lake Lure Dam）附近的居民立即撤至地势较高地点，称“水坝即将溃决”。
