NOAA satellite capture reveals Hurricane Helene’s menacing approach towards Florida on Thursday morning.

As Hurricane Helene intensifies to a Category 2 storm and barrels towards northwestern Florida, Georgia officials are on high alert. With the storm expected to maintain its strength far inland, Governor Brian Kemp has declared a state of emergency for Georgia, activating the State Operations Center to coordinate response efforts.

Hurricane Helene's Impact on Georgia

While Florida faces the immediate threat of Helene’s landfall, Georgia isn’t out of the woods. The National Weather Service has extended hurricane and flash flood warnings into south-central Georgia. Residents should prepare for:

  1. Tropical storm force winds
  2. Torrential rainfall and flash flooding
  3. Potential tornadoes
  4. Widespread power outages

How to Prepare for Storm Damage from Hurricane Helene

  1. Pay attention to all evacuation orders immediately if issued for your area.
  2. Secure outdoor items and prepare your home for high winds and heavy rain.
  3. Have an emergency kit ready with at least 3 days of supplies.
  4. Charge all devices and have backup power sources ready.
  5. Stay informed through local news and official emergency channels.
