-- Hurricane Helene pushed deeper into the Gulf of Mexico as the system tracked toward Florida , where it’s forecast to make landfall Thursday evening as a punishing Category 4 storm.Waiting for the Miracle of Church-to-Housing Development
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — which oversees the hurricane center — issued a rare warning Wednesday evening that Helene will cause life-threatening flooding hundreds of miles inland, which could last for days after making landfall. The risk is highest in Tallahassee, Atlanta, and Asheville, North Carolina.
Helene is so large there is a chance dangerous storm surge could inundate all of western Florida, including Tampa Bay far to the south of where it’s forecast to come ashore, according to the NHC. Helene’s forward speed also means its winds will still be strong as it punches its way inland. The storm’s tropical-storm-strength winds extend 345 miles, roughly the distance between New York City and Montreal, Quebec.
Mandatory and voluntary evacuations have begun in 23 counties along Helene’s path, according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management. In addition, Governor Ron DeSantis declared an emergency in all but six of Florida’s 67 counties. Sarasota County asked residents in several neighborhoods to start leaving their homes Wednesday, according to the county’s website. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also declared an emergency across his state.
