Storm heading toward Florida reaches hurricane strength: NHC

By September 25, 2024No Comments1 min read

“Helene becomes a hurricane… expected to bring life-threatening storm surge, damaging winds, and flooding rains to a large portion of Florida and the Southeastern United States,” the National Hurricane Center in Miami said in its latest bulletin.
