The time to prepare for the onslaught of Hurricane Helene is essentially over as the monster storm continues to gain strength and sets its sights on Florida’s Big Bend region, where it will unleash a potentially "unsurvivable" 20-foot storm surge, catastrophic hurricane-force winds and flooding rain.
"The winds are slowly increasing. We've got both NOAA and the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters in the storm now," National Hurricane Director Dr. Michael Brennan told FOX Weather on Thursday. "If you look at the radar, you can start to see the eye just showing up now on the edge of the radar."
Nearly the entire state of Florida is under some sort of tropical weather alert, with Tropical Storm Warnings extending hundreds of miles inland into Georgia and the Carolinas, including Atlanta.
"The impacts of this storm are on an enormous scale and are going to extend over multiple states all the way up into the Carolinas and southern Appalachians -- the storm surge, the hurricane and tropical storm force winds and the potential for catastrophic rainfall," Brennan added.
