Preparations and evacuations are underway in Florida and Georgia as locals brace for what Helene will bring, predicted to be the worst hurricane in the U.S. in over a year.
With sustained winds of 80 mph, Hurricane Helene, now a Category 1 storm, could intensify to a Category 3 as it heads toward the Florida panhandle.
The storm is forecast to hit late Thursday night or early Friday morning, affecting Tallahassee directly before moving into Georgia and the Southeast.
Helene is expected to be the fifth hurricane to hit Florida since 2022, underscoring an active hurricane season with storm paths that can change quickly.
