Florida’s death toll from Hurricane Helene, which left behind a trail of destruction from Florida though the Carolinas, stood at 13 as of Monday.

Days after Hurricane Helene made landfall, devastating flooding, road closures and power outages remain in hard-hit areas. There have been at least 90 deaths as a result of the storm, according to an NBC News count of confirmed fatalities.

In Helene's wake, the National Hurricane Center predicted Tropical Storm Kirk could grow into the next major hurricane by midweek. Here's what you need to know.

Helene made landfall late on Thursday in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 Hurricane. It weakened Friday morning to a tropical storm with sustained winds of 70 mph.

Packing 140 mph winds, Helene swept through North Florida after surging onto land about 11:10 p.m. Thursday east of the mouth of the Aucilla River, about 10 miles from the Taylor County community of Perry. But storm surge from the massive storm also caused damage up and down the state's Gulf Coast.

The National Hurricane Center said the system in the Caribbean could become a tropical depression later this week.
