Hurricane Helene History

Hurricane Helene strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane before making landfall near Perry, Florida. This is the largest and strongest storm to ever hit the Big Bend area of Florida. Also, this was the highest recorded storm surge at the Cedar Key gauge. This storm led to catastrophic flooding in the western Carolinas. In central Kentucky and southern Indiana, it brought 2-4 inches of rain, winds up to 65 mph, and record breaking minimum pressure for the month of September. The remnants of Hurricane Helene continued to spin over the Ohio Valley through the weekend, before moving off to the east.
