Helene will make landfall Thursday evening, bringing about life-threatening conditions across the northwest coast.

Florida residents preparing for a powerful wallop from Hurricane Helene hurriedly stocked up on water, food, gasoline and other essentials as officials warned of heavy rainfall and winds that could topple trees and produce life-threatening storm surges.
