The weather channel (NBC) is now reporting a total of 30 deaths and expecting more.
EDIT: AP is confirming the 30 death toll from Hurricane Helene.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the damage from Helene appeared to be greater than the combined damage of Idalia and Hurricane Debby in August. “It’s demoralizing,” he said.
“Please write your name, birthday, and important information on your arm or leg in a PERMANENT MARKER so that you can be identified and family notified,” the sheriff’s office in mostly rural Taylor County, Florida, warned those who chose not to evacuate in a Facebook post. The dire advice was similar to what other officials have dolled out during past hurricanes. (a grim reminder of what could be the result if you stayed in your home)
