Florida Ted@coreyspowell Helene could break some records. I hope people heed the warnings.

Florida bracing for 'unsurvivable' Hurricane Helene
A powerful Category 4 hurricane named Helene is approaching Florida, bringing potentially catastrophic storm surges and severe flooding. With winds reaching 130 miles per hour, the storm has already caused power outages and airport closures. Officials are urging residents to take precautions as the hurricane could become one of the largest Gulf of Mexico storms in decades.

Huh -- fascinating how the brain works!
