#Helene is a massive #hurricane. It’s going to take a while for it to wind down once it makes landfall due to it moving NNE at nearly 25 mph. Could see category 1 wind gusts in Atlanta & across north GA.
As Major Hurricane #Helene approaches the #Florida Big Bend, our specialists are working around the clock to provide you with the best forecast. Conditions will continue to deteriorate overnight. Please stay indoors, don't venture out, and heed all warnings. Stay safe!
Our ❤️ go out to the community of Jasper, Alberta as they face the devastating impact of the wildfires. We stand in solidarity with those affected and commend the tireless efforts of the firefighters and emergency responders working to protect lives and property.
