Hurricane Helene's Impact on Florida
Hurricane Helene has struck Florida as a powerful Category 4 storm, resulting in severe devastation and at least one reported death. The hurricane made landfall with 140 mph winds, leading to widespread power outages affecting over a million people, accompanied by significant flooding in various regions. Governor Ron DeSantis has warned residents to exercise caution as rescue operations may be delayed due to hazardous conditions.
