Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall in the Sunshine State later on Thursday (26 September) and is forecast to wreak significant damage. By the time it reaches the state, it will have been classified as a category four hurricane. The National Hurricane Center reports that storm surges might reach 20 feet on some beaches, with cities like Miami historically taking the worst hit.

Along parts of the Florida Big Bend coast, flooding may reach 20 feet above ground level, according to the center’s warning: “A catastrophic and deadly storm surge is likely along portions of that coast.”

in the wake of devastating waves.”We need to finish getting ready to protect people and property by Thursday morning, before the tropical storm hits.”According to the experts, wind speeds of 90 mph were already being generated by Helene by 5am local time on Thursday. The hurricane center’s prediction is that gusts of at least 130 mph might be reached later this afternoon, and those strong winds are just going to become worse in the hours to come. While tropical storms are nothing new to Florida, Hurricane Helene is expected to wreak havoc. Michael Lowry, an authority on hurricanes, has issued a warning that this storm has the potential to become one of the most massive in the Gulf of Mexico in the last hundred years. Irma (2017), Ike (2008), Ivan (2004), and Isidore (2002) are the only four named storms this century that have been as big over the Gulf of Mexico (measured by the extent of tropical storm winds) as Helene is projected to reach by tomorrow, he said on Twitter.

Due to the danger that the storm poses, thousands of Floridians have evacuated their homes and maybe the whole state. The storm surge danger is ‘catastrophicand/or perhaps unsurvivable,’ according to an update from Wednesday (25 September) from the Tallahassee National Weather Service, who have issued a severe warning to anybody residing in or around Apalachee Bay. Further south, damage has already been reported, with automobiles submerged. Located in Quintana Roo, Mexico. More than 50,000 individuals in the province of Pinar del Río, Cuba, have been left without electricity.
