"Gargantuan" Hurricane Helene could bring "catastrophic and deadly storm surge" to parts of Florida Gulf Coast

Hurricane Helene is strengthening because it moves across the japanese Gulf of Mexico toward a forecast Thursday evening or early Friday early morning landfall in excess of Florida's Large Bend Coastline and is "predicted to bring catastrophic winds and storm surge on the northeastern Gulf Coastline," the National Hurricane Heart reported early Thursday. "Preparations to guard everyday living and home really should be rushed to completion," the center urged.

The National Weather Service warned in a post on X that, "A catastrophic and deadly storm surge is likely alongside parts of your Florida Large Bend coast, wherever inundation could reach as large as twenty ft higher than ground level, as well as damaging waves. There is also a Hazard of daily life-threatening storm surge alongside the rest with the west Coastline with the Florida Peninsula. People in those locations must comply with assistance specified by area officers and evacuate if explained to to take action."
