A Big Threat to the SE U. S. Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene, now a hazardous category four storm, is moving towards the Big Bend in Florida with winds up to 140 mph. The storm has the potential for catastrophic damage, complete with a 15- to 20-foot high storm surge and rains and hurricane-force winds through parts of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. The ~90,000 residents in the affected areas have either been encouraged to evacuate or hunker down as conditions degenerate. The storm is expected to slow even further by the weekend somewhere over the Tennessee Valley, which means inland areas will also get massive amounts of rain.
Key Impacts:
- Storm Surge$: Up to 20 feet in Florida Big Bend.
- Wind: Hurricane conditions spreading farther inland.
- Floodwaters: Nothing short of life-threatening flash floods in Florida & the SE states
- Landfall: Earliest tonight in Florida’s Big Bend
As dangerous winds and fire risk loom for the rest of southern California, authorities have ordered several evacuations in high-risk areas farther inland.
