Asheville, United States - March 05, 2025 Hurricane Helene has left a trail of chaos, but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is fighting back. Fresh b-roll footage, dated March 5, 2025, shows troops hard at work clearing debris from private properties. The monster storm, Hurricane Helene (/hɛˈliːn/ ⓘ heh-LEEN), tore through the Southeastern United States in late September 2024. It was a deadly and devastating tropical cyclone, the strongest hurricane ever to hit Florida’s Big Bend region. The video captures heavy machinery clawing through piles of shattered wood and twisted metal. Soldiers in uniform direct the operation, their boots sinking into muddy yards. It’s a race against time to restore order before rot and ruin set in. Helene caused widespread catastrophic damage and numerous fatalities, making it the deadliest Atlantic hurricane since Maria in 2017 and the deadliest to strike the mainland U.S. since Katrina in 2005. Residents watch from their porches, some relieved, others still dazed by the storm’s fury. Helene’s wrath spared no one, turning quiet neighborhoods into war zones overnight. The cleanup isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about giving people their lives back. The Corps’ efforts, filmed just yesterday, show a glimpse of hope amid the devastation. Property by property, they’re hauling away the mess, one load at a time.
