‘Big, big storm’: Gov. DeSantis warns of Helene’s imminent impacts
Helene has “the potential to exceed” Idalia in 2023, DeSantis said, referring to the Category 4 storm that barreled into the Big Bend last Summer. DeSantis has now declared a State of Emergency in 61 of 67 counties, and got partial approval of the emergency declaration from President Joe Biden. He hopes for “more robust approval” soon.
