At approximately 11:10 p.m. local time, Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida’s Gulf Coast, close to the mouth of the Aucilla River, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The weather service warned of the possibility of flash floods and winds exceeding 140 mph (225 kph).
According to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a person died after a sign fell on their automobile while they were traveling on a motorway.
“Floridians will certainly find themselves in a situation where more lives have been lost when they awaken tomorrow morning. And there will undoubtedly be property loss,” Mr. DeSantis stated.
There will be those who become homeless as a result of this storm. I ask that you remember and pray for those people.
