At least four people are dead and 1.5 million without power after Category 4 Hurricane Helene plowed into Northern Florida’s Big Bend region of the Gulf Coast, CNN reports.
In a particularly grim message to residents prior to the storm hitting, the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday posted “If you or someone you know chose not to evacuate, 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.” Should probably have said Social Security number too.
