Fox News reported that Hurricane Helene made landfall in Taylor County, situated between Tallahassee and Tampa.

However, the impacts of the storm extended far beyond, as its effects were felt hundreds of miles away.

The hurricane’s 20-foot storm surge submerged areas from Big Bend to Southwest Florida, leading to widespread flooding.

In the coastal town of Steinhatchee, floodwaters were so severe that mobile homes were seen floating in the deluge.

The devastation was not confined to Florida alone. As the storm advanced inland, tornado warnings were issued, and two deaths were reported in Wheeler County, Georgia, after a mobile home suffered significant damage.

Emergency water rescues were underway across multiple regions, as communities faced unprecedented flooding.

Power outages soared as the storm’s center moved inland, with over a million Floridians left without electricity.

Wind gusts nearing hurricane-force strength continued to batter parts of the state.

Neighboring states, including Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, also reported substantial power outages as Helene’s destructive path persisted.

In Sarasota, streets became so heavily flooded that alligators were seen moving through residential areas, raising concerns for public safety.

FOX Weather’s Ian Oliver highlighted the rapidly rising waters in St. Pete Beach, where streets were submerged hours before the arrival of high tide.

As Hurricane Helene continues to cause widespread destruction, rescue operations are in full force, and communities across Florida and beyond brace for further damage in the storm’s aftermath.
