Hurricane Helene strengthened into a Category 4 storm ahead of its expected landfall on Florida’s northwest coast Thursday night 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 hurricane's eye was about 90 miles south of Tallahassee, Florida, and had sustained winds of 140 mph, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. It was moving north-northeast at 24 mph, and life-threatening storm surges of up to 20 feet were expected in the Big Bend area of Florida.

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee issued an “extreme wind warning” for the Big Bend as the eyewall approached: “Treat this warning like a tornado warning,” it said in a post on X. “Take shelter in the most interior room and hunker down!”

This storm is a beast. Had to abandon my home due to surge. Came in fast and destructive. 4 dogs, cat, grandma and cat sleeping at my wife's office tonight. We're safe. That's all that matters.

It picked up winds, waves and waters thru the west lengths of Florida, and landed on the main Florida and into the south of US; hope the north wind will obsorb it and cool it for the next few days.

Tallahassee will be on the West side of the storm. A little bit of good news. Unfortunately it is a big storm so there is going to be tree and home damage in the city.

I feel for them. We just went through with Francine in Louisiana over two weeks ago. I couldn't sleep as it sounded like the world was ending outside. They are going to be up all night long.
