Hurricane Helene, a monster Category 4 storm, is making landfall with catastrophic wind and high water.
It’s a story that hits close to home for NBC 5 reporter Meredith Yeomans who’s had generations of relatives call Tallahassee home. They’ve endured numerous hurricanes but can’t recall a storm of Helene’s magnitude.
Concerns in Florida's capital city include power outages, torrential rain and whether its massive live oak trees can withstand 130 mph wind. “It’s the first time I’ve been in a Category 4. It’s the first time I’ve ever been in a direct hit,” said Meredith’s mother Marilyn Rett.For some, shelters are the safest place to be.
"It's big, it’s size, the wind speed, I just felt like this was different. It was the best thing to do,” said Norman Scarbrough who is staying at a shelter.A team from Southern Baptists of Texas is spending the night in Mississippi and will make their way to Tallahassee Friday to start setting up their mobile kitchen.“Our message for the people of Florida, for Tallahassee, would be that we’re praying. We’ll be praying against the storm.
