9/26/24 - Major Hurricane Helene Intensifying On The Way To Florida

Hurricane Helene is NOW a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 140 mph. It’s tracking NNE towards the Big Bend coastline of Florida. It will continue to intensify up until landfall later this evening. Winds could reach 145 mph or even a little higher. The TAYLOR COUNTY area appears to be in line for a direct hit unless the hurricane wobbles upon approach. Storm surge will be catastrophic near and east of where the center makes landfall. Major impacts will be felt far inland into GA, TN, SC, NC. We expect millions will lose power, even well inland. Please stay safe if you’re in the path and listen to local officials.

Based on the current NHC track (it could change slightly east or west), we will likely see wind gusts 100 - 120+ mph tonight in the highlighted region where the eye-wall comes ashore later tonight. Be prepared for major wind damage and power outages.

Hurricane and tropical storm warnings extend well inland into the southeast U.S.
