“Helene has rapidly intensified today while nearing landfall in the Florida Big Bend,” the NHC said in a forecast discussion earlier on Thursday. “It should be emphasized that Helene is at the upper bound of hurricanes in terms of storm size, and impacts are and will occur well away from the center.”
Helene became a tropical storm on Tuesday, becoming the season’s most powerful hurricane by the time it reached land.

Tennessee House candidate Brad Batt shared an image to X (formerly Twitter), which appeared to show around three-dozen people taking refuge from high floodwaters on a hospital roof.
