Storm surge is a bigger killer than wind when a major hurricane hits shore. The areas in the path of Hurricane Helene are more susceptible to surge than other parts of Florida's coast.
Hurricane Helene is headed towards Florida and surrounding states. Georgia can also expect weather disturbances including tropical storm conditions, heavy rainfall and potential flooding throughout the end of the week.
While you’ve probably been preparing for the storm by getting your home and family ready, the groceries you just paid for a few days ago may end up suffering because of possible power outages. Or will they?
PBS Warning, Alert, and Response Network (WARN) provides a vital back up path for the delivery of FEMA emergency messages (including severe weather and Amber alerts) to Cellular Providers across the country via the PBS Satellite Network.
