Bradenton, United States - September 26, 2024

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene's relentless assault, videos captured late on September 26 along the Bradenton Riverwalk paint a dramatic picture of nature's wrath. As dusk turned into night, the water levels along this scenic stretch continued to rise, reaching alarming heights by midnight, according to footage reviewed by local authorities and shared across social platforms.

The video, timestamped around 9:05 p.m. and updated at 9:50 p.m., showcases the Riverwalk submerged under several feet of water, a stark contrast to its usual tranquil paths. By midnight, the floodwaters had not only risen but had also begun to encroach further inland, threatening nearby homes and infrastructure.
