Helene weakens to Category 1 hurricane while moving north from Florida to Georgia
The storm made landfall in northwestern Florida as a Category 4 storm as forecasters warned the enormous system could create a “nightmare” storm surge and bring dangerous winds and rain across much of the southeastern US.
The storm traveled north from Florida to Georgia and was about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Augusta and 40 miles (65 kilometers) from Macon moving at about 30 mph (48 kph), the hurricane center in Miami said in a 4 a.m. update.
