Only half of people under mandatory evacuation order heeded evacuation order.
Major flooding being reported on coast
The worst impacts of hurricanes can often be storm surges from the sea and flooding from bands of rain rather than winds so worst to could be to come at high tide. It was a fast moving storm in the coastal areas so hopefully so floods from rain won’t be as severe as predicted.
It missed a direct hit on Tallahassee fortunately.

Hurricane Helene likely to hit Florida tonight as Category 4 storm: Live updates
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. − Hurricane Helene strengthened into a Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 125 mph Thursday and may just reach the next level as it roars toward landfall and possible devastation along Florida's Gulf Coast.
The National Hurricane Center, which at its 2 p.m. ET update (6:00 p.m. UK) had reported Helene's sustained winds as high as 110 mph − just shy of Category 3 status − tweeted about a 10 mph increase 25 minutes later.
At 5 p.m.,(9 p.m. UK) the center issued an even more dire advisory, saying: "It seems likely that Helene will be at or very near Category 4 strength when it makes landfall in the Florida Big Bend this evening."
The Florida Big Bend is just below Tallahassee, the Florida state capital.

Are those motorists actually driving
Yes, probably thinking if I don't leave now and get across this bridge to my loved ones in another part of the Tampa Bay area they might not survive this storm. 3 people reported dead so far.

Just had word from Atlanta, Georgia - my brother-in-law’s brother and his kids are ok thank goodness. They said there’s very heavy rain and winds but they are safe. My niece and fiancé were due to fly in from Vancouver last night to visit them but all flights into and out of Atlanta are grounded. People are saying Helene is the worst storm to hit the Gulf coast in modern history.
Has it all blown through now, pictures coming out of Florida looked awful

South Carolina Governor McMaster Briefing on Hurricane Helene
Gov. Henry McMaster (R) and state officials held a briefing on the state's response to Hurricane Helene.
www.c-span.org
Press conference from South Carolina Governor McMaster. He does things a bit different than when Nikki Hailey was governor there.
EDIT: I believe Governor McMaster said they have never had this many power outages as they have had with this storm ever before.
