Hurricane Helene — now a Category 2 storm — is forecast to make landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast on Thursday evening at Category 4 strength, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm is expected to bring "catastrophic" winds and a "deadly storm surge" to a large portion of Florida and the Southeast,

Helene came ashore amid warnings from the National Hurricane Center that the enormous system could create a "nightmare" storm surge. There were at least four storm-related deaths.
