Who Will Be Affected by Hurricane Helene?
Storm surge is likely to hurt Tampa Bay, Florida, and other places in that part of the state. The storm is also expected to hit the Gulf Coast and the southeast of the United States.

In its advisory statement, the NHC said, “This system is expected to bring heavy rains to parts of Central America over the next few days, no matter how it develops.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also said something about the storm that was coming. The politician wrote on X (which used to be Twitter), “We are keeping an eye on Potential Tropical Cyclone #9, which is likely to get stronger this week as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico.
” With Executive Order 24-208, I’ve declared a state of emergency in 41 Florida counties that the storm could affect, and I’ve told Florida agencies to get ready as needed. We will keep an eye on the storm’s path and let Floridians know what we find.
The governor also told people in Florida to “make an emergency plan, know your evacuation zone, and be as ready for the storm as you can be.”
