After Hurricane Helene officially formed on Wednesday in the Gulf of Mexico, forecasters warned that the storm will bring life-threatening conditions and heavy rain to the Sunshine State when it makes landfall as a major Category 4 hurricane Thursday evening in Florida's Big Bend.
The National Hurricane Center has warned Floridians to prepare for major impacts, with some areas in the Panhandle having the potential to experience storm surges of 20 feet.
