Hurricane Helene struck Florida’s Big Bend region as a category 4 hurricane on September 25, 2024, and continued to move northeast. The storm caused widespread power outages and catastrophic damage across Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia and other states. It has brought life-threatening storm surges in its aftermath. Now, less than two weeks later, Hurricane Milton is making its way toward Florida’s western coast and threatens to cause additional catastrophic damage.
