Tesla catches fire in flooded garage during Helene

Home surveillance video shows the moment a Tesla vehicle became engulfed in flames inside a flooded garage in Florida during Hurricane Helene.

The family, who made it out of the home safely, told a local news station that it took only a few minutes for the home to be destroyed by the fire.

Cleanup and recovery efforts are underway in the six states affected by the hurricane. At least 116 people have died, with 35 deaths reported in one North Carolina county. President Joe Biden is expected to visit North Carolina on Wednesday to "survey the damage".
