Hurricane Helene update.

We have a tornado warning in effect for the next half hour and we just lost our electricity. There is some serious wind going on too. No rain at the moment though.

I am watching the news, and it looks like you are experiencing the outer edges of the storm.

@4meAndyou do they say where Helene is at right now?

@Musicman Outside and just south of Tampa. It is really flooded there. It is a category 4 right now, and will hit the Big Bend, and they are predicting really devastating damage up there.

@4meAndyou I am so sorry to hear that 💔😥😥😥 Any idea what time it will hit the big bend area?

@Musicman It's moving at 16 mph. I can't seem to find the distance between Tampa Bay and Big Bend...but they lost power in Tampa Bay at 4 pm. I am going to guess it will hit Big Bend by 9 pm. and will make landfall there in a really horrible way around midnight.

@4meAndyou We still have the wind and rain here.

@Musicman Well, at least it is moving north. But it is a HUGE storm!
