SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen has intensified to a category three storm, expected to hit Florida, particularly near Tallahassee, later today, with potential to reach category four. Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency, urging evacuations. In Tampa, the outer bands have created rough waters, with predictions of 5 to 8 feet of storm surge. Despite mandatory evacuation orders, some residents remain, prompting concerns over the danger of fallen trees and flooding. Residents are preparing with sandbags and shuttering businesses. The storm’s wide impact could also extend its effects into Georgia and the Carolinas, causing travel disruptions.
