Hurricane Helene made landfall Thursday night in northwestern Florida as a Category 4 storm as forecasters warned that the enormous system could create a “nightmare” storm surge and bring dangerous winds and rain across much of the southeastern U.S.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Helene roared ashore around 11:10 p.m. EDT near the mouth of the Aucilla River in the Big Bend area of Florida’s Gulf Coast. It had maximum sustained winds estimated at 140 mph ( 225 kph).

Flooding and damage can be seen in Cedar Key, Florida.

Cedar Key had some of the most zig zag channel markers I had ever seen. I bet they will be different now.

Praying for all the good people of Cedar Key and everyone impacted by this latest devastation. There are no words, really, to describe the one-two punch that has been delivered to the area in the last few years.

Note to Mother Nature: Go pick on somebody else next time, okay??

HURRICAN HELENE & THE STORMS OF LIFE -2024!!
Helene hit like an atom bomb
Consuming the helpless in its path.
The waters of the deep surged forth
Flooding everything with their wrath.

The storms of life come to everyone
There are none who are immune.
Some approach in our later years
While others come too soon.

Conviction is our emotional union
As we weather the storms of Earth.
Thank God for His amazing grace
Which helps us reveal our worth.

Tears are a love-mates humble gift
When it's time to say goodbye
Though the eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.
