Watch a live tracker of Hurricane Helene as it heads toward Florida and is expected to make landfall Thursday evening.
It became a Category 1 hurricane today before noon and is expected to hit Florida's Big Bend late tomorrow.
People in affected areas are being urged to prepare and several counties are under evacuation orders. "This is a life-threatening situation," the NHC said.Mara Lezama Espinosa, the governor of Quintana Roo, shared videos and photos of severe flooding and damage from Helene as the hurricane passes the Yucatán Peninsula.
The governor had declared an emergency for 61 counties in the state. On Wednesday, he said FEMA partially approved the state’s pre-landfall emergency declaration, “but we didn’t get approved for what we think we need to get approved for.” He said the state will ask again for “more robust” approval. Helene’s outer rain bands will bring on-and-off tropical downpours to South Florida and the Keys by this afternoon. Tropical storm-force winds will begin for Key West to Miami by later this evening.
