Potential Hurricane Helene

[Kendall James-Vargas]

As a Florida resident I have been eyeing Tropical Storm Nine, soon to be Hurricane Helene. It's supposed to be a category 3 hurricane that will hit near the pan handle of Florida. I hope it doesn't get too strong. This tropical cyclone will likely cause some cruise delays out of Tampa and the west cost of Florida in the coming days. Is anyone cruising out of the west coast of Florida this week?

MSC Seascape already rerouted an itinerary to avoid Tropical Depression nine. The line is definitely ahead of the game for making these itinerary changes so early on.

I imagine there will many more cruise updates in the coming days into Thursday. Hopefully Cuba doesn't get slammed too hard.

Hopefully I don't loose any power and I'm able to track the storm online as it passes. Thankfully I'm south of the eye of Helene but I did have to make preparations for the outer bands. Our public schools will be off of school on Thursday. Water and gas is going quickly. Thankfully I got my hands on both before the stores ran out!
