Hurricane Helene is forecast to strengthen to a catastrophic Category 4 storm before making landfall on Florida’s Big Bend coast Thursday evening, the National Hurricane Center said.
The massive hurricane threatens widespread impacts across the Southeast, with life-threatening storm surges up to 20 feet, damaging winds, and flooding rainfall expected. Follow live updates here.
Mandatory evacuations have been ordered in at least 15 Florida coastal counties, while states of emergency were declared in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Here’s a live tracker.
Officials warned Helene could be the worst storm in Tallahassee’s history, with its effects potentially reaching as far inland as Atlanta. Here are some photos as people prepare.
