"Helene stands toe-to-toe with any of the threats that Florida has faced over the past ten years or indeed really over hurricane history."

Helene is forecast to rapidly intensify into a massive Category 3 hurricane, bringing “potentially catastrophic” wind and storm surge to the Big Bend.

After a strangely quiet 6-weeks in the Atlantic, Hurricane Helene was born today. And as (bad) luck would have it, the forecasted track has it hitting Florida's big bend, again. And this time, potentially as a Major Category 3 storm.
