Hurricane Helene made landfall just after 11:00 p.m. as a Category 4 storm, producing catastrophic winds, prompting serious warnings from the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
Both the governors of Florida and neighboring states declared states of emergency, while President Biden emphasized the seriousness of Hurricane Helene and issued emergency declarations for Alabama and South Carolina.
Despite Florida's history of hurricanes, the devastating effects of Helene have reignited memories of past storms, including Hurricane Ian and the severe impact seen in 2022.
As residents were urged to stay home or seek shelter, the hurricane's advance raised fears reminiscent of historic floods and the destruction unleashed by storms like Hurricane Hugo.
