They are also a threat in some areas. We do have some new video of the destruction that helene left behind after making landfall as a category four hurricane in floridas big Bend Region last night authorities saying that at least 23 people have died across four states and millions are without power and take a look at a dramatic rescue. An amazing one here the Coast Guard says a man and his dog uh, caught in the storm after their sailboat became disabled and started taking on water. This happened about 25 miles off Sanibel Island in florida and luckily, both the man and his dog were lifted to safety. Lets go down to Cnn Weather Center and to the Cnn Weather Center and Meteorologist Elisa Raffa whats next . Next for helene . Elisa the flooding is going to continue. Good. See, we have a pretty wide stretch here of Heavy Rain. Heres an outer band thats been Pumping Tornado Warnings from wilmington to raleigh in eastern North Carolina. Then the Heavy Rain stretches into tennessee, kentucky even parts of eastern missouri. We have this rain that just continues to swirl. I have never seen so many Flash Flood emergencies in effect that is all of the white outline that you see here. The green is a Flash Flood watch, meaning that there could be Flash Flooding anywhere in that watch area. But all of this kind of white outlined red area of the emergencies that is the highest level that we have to warn for Flash Flooding, telling people to take action immediately. One of these Flash Flood warnings has been in effect all morning for atlanta, including, the major population center, midtown, downtown. We have had people being rescued out of cars in the city all morning western North Carolina really getting hit hard but all of this Heavy Rain, again, all of these white boxes are emergencies including that one that you mentioned, where theres a dam that they are worried. Its going to fail is eroding were trying to get more information about whats happening. There. But a lot of these places have already gotten more than a foot of rain. Look at this. This is also mountainous terrains. This is Appalachian Mountains so theyre worried about homes, possibly collapsing and landslides because theres nowhere for this water to go in this type of terrain. So thats just going to send things going down in landslides. And you could see the pocket of the Heavy Rain totals well over ten inches in the asheville area. Again, also coming with some wingless, so we still have two tropical storm conditions gusts, 30 to 40 miles per hour from charleston and myrtle Beach And Charlotte as well. All coming with the Heavy Rain. Heres a look at some of these totals. One Mountain Community in North Carolina, getting close to 30 inches of rain in the last 48 hours, 30 inches again in mountainous terrains that will cause landslides a table, rocks but carolina over a foot of rain, asheville, over a foot of rain, 13 inches, even atlanta got 11 inches of rain. Again, it will continue as we go through the day today. We still have this high risk of rain in effect for the North Carolina mountains, that high risk is only issued 4 of the time, but incredibly dangerous. Its responsible for 80 of our flood damages. Brianna. Elisa raffa for us in the Cnn Weather Center. Lets go now to cnn Correspondent Isabel rosales. She is in asheville. She is joining us on the phone because she and her crew were actually facing rising waters and had to move their live shot location. So theyre on the move right now. Tell us what youre seeing is a bill briana, just to show you the sort of misinformation that can kind of happen in the panic that can happen. We saw people starting to run from the Hotel Yelling Dam was about to break, but we spoke with several Police Officers who area and they said that that was not accurate this area were mad at Biltmore Village because, you know county that is the case that there was a dam that is at risk there of imminent failure. But nonetheless, here, people werent a panic and started to evacuate, right . Now, im near a bridge that actually has been cleared due to the Police Officer was telling me multiple Propane Tanks coming loose from a nearby Gas Company and they were piling up underneath of the bridge. This bridge is over the Swannanoa River a sense that were starting up of fuel and of gas. And they were hearing the painting it just goes to show you brianna that its exactly what the governor said that just because the rain has passed from this area, it doesnt mean that the threat is over since that weve seen the waters, the floodwaters continue to rise as it really has no place to go to right now. Is going into these rivers and just swelling beyond the banks. So were not Out Of The Woods here yet in the asheville area, brianna all right. Isabel, thank you so much. Stay safe out there. We appreciate the report know switching gears, massive explosions rocked the lebanese capital of beirut over the past few hours. The Israeli Military says It Hit the Hezbollah Headquarters in the powerful strikes israel now says hezbollah leader nasrallah was the target of this strike. And also today, israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly with a fiery speech that included threats towards iran, a vow to continue Israels Assault on hezbollah and hamas, and made no matter and shan of a us proposal for a 21 Day Ceasefire across the israellebanon border. Cnns Kylie Atwood is with us now. This was a speech that came just moments before these explosions in beirut. What is the message hes sending . Today . It is a very clear message that israel is still interested and sees it as a necessity to engage militarily against hezbollah across whats the border in lebanon. He said in his Speech Today that israel has every right to continue these strikes against hezbollah. That of course, was met with frustration from us officials who have been pressing for a ceasefire and recently synthase. But i want you to just listen to as part of his speech this morning before the news broke about this additional strike that occurred against the Hezbollah Headquarters in beirut today. And just the tone that he was taking in terms of the necessity to continue going after hezbollah in lebanon, listen to this just this week the idf destroyed large percentages of hezbollahs rockets, which had built with iran is funding for three decades we took out senior Military Commanders will not only showed israeli blood, but american and french blood as well and then we took out their replacements and then the replacements of their replacements will continue degrading hezbollah until all our objectives are bay no, these comments that we just heard from the Prime Minister, this morning come after us officials were already incredibly frustrated with israeli officials. Were told that when the u. S. Sen. Many of its allies rolled out this proposal for a 21 Day Ceasefire between hezbollah and israel. They had had discussions with israeli officials leading up to that proposal and putting it out on the table they expected that it was going to be met with some welcome comments from israelis prime Minister Netanyahu immediately threw Cold Water on it that led the u. S. To try and pressure the israelis to put out some sort of a statement that the k, that they were open to a ceasefire. We saw that done last night, but we should note that in that statement that israelis didnt actually say that they are open to a ceasefire. They said they appreciate the role that the united states is playing to try and drive down what is occurring along the israeli lebanese border. But they didnt commit to a ceasefire. And then what were seeing today is really every indication that israel is laying know groundwork to try and make that ceasefire potentially come to fruition, particularly with this targeted airstrike on what they say is Hezbollah Headquarters in beirut. Yeah, so huge strike Kylie Atwood. Thank you so much for that. And lets go now to beirut, which is were seeing it and as Jomana Karadsheh is joining us now from what is the latest from where you are brianna, just under two hours ago massive blasts shook the lebanese capital hello, and we saw these plumes of smoke rising from beiruts Southern Suburbs where you do have hezbollah presence as well as it being a heavily densely populated part of the country. One of the most densely populated and weve heard since from the Israeli Military officially, the Israeli Military saying that they were targeting is hezbollah is central command center, and they said that this was a precise strike and that this was, that this center was underneath a residential building our Colleague Jeremy Diamond confirming from an israeli official that the target of that strike was hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and these really military right now is working to assess whether he was killed in that strike. I can tell you from here, we have not yet heard anything official from the lebanese authorities from hezbollah. No announcement yet, but Security Official telling cnn that when asked if Hassan Nasrallah is alive or if he was killed he simply said, we wait and we are waiting to see if theres been any confirmation of this, but i can tell you that these were massive strikes according the lebanese state news agency, at least six buildings have been reduced to rubble and images that are emerging from this seeing you can see huge crater that is left by those strikes. Certainly large munitions for you used in this targeted attack also unclear at this point. If there are casualties, one would assume when you look at these images and the explosion that we witnessed here, we heard that theyre most certainly will be casualties, but again, the big question is, was Hassan Nasrallah theyre did he survive this or was he injured . All these questions . We are waiting to hear from hezbollah and from the lebanese authorities. But i can tell you that many here in lebanon are right now on edge a dangerous this escalation does not even begin to describe the situation brianna. And what would this mean if he does or does not survive this jomana . Well, the fact that this, you know, she look at what has been happening here in recent days, you have had a serious israeli escalation that began with those Pager And Walkietalkie attacks, then youve had several strikes in beiruts, were aware of the israelis went after hezbollah commanders and senior leaders from that group. And since then in the past few days, youve had devastating strikes that have been concentrated on the south and the eastern part of the Country Something that the Countrys Health Minister who we spoke to said, this is a fullfledged war, that his country is facing. Now at the same time, what we have seen from hezbollah is that they have continued their attacks on israel. We did see an escalation this week by hezbollah when they fired one ballistic Missile Targeting Tel aviv, that was of course intercepted. And those who know the group know how it operates saw that really as i described, it, really as a calibrated escalation, saying that hezbollah was not ready to Clare War was did not want to essentially take the gloves off. But right now, all is very possible. And we are talking about the most heavily armed militant group that is right on israels doorstep. And it is part of what is known as the socalled axis of resistance. These are iranian backed proxies from syria to iraq, to yemen. And this really he could be a Turning Point in this conflict that has been taking place. What has been aim you know, a midlevel Intensity Conflict between israel, hezbollah, and then youve had these attacks by these iranian proxies since october the eighth of last year. What we could be witnessing right now is a serious Turning Point in a very, very dangerous situation right now, briana jomana. Thank you so much for your reporting. Please stay safe.
