See Tallahassee, Leon County power outage map as Hurricane Helene impacts Florida

Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, smacked into the Big Bend Thursday night with a wrath the area has never seen before. The rain and wind left thousands without power.

Some of the hardest hit counties — Taylor, Dixie, Suwannee, Madison — were knocked completely off the grid, according to a USA TODAY power outage tracker. Others, like Jefferson and Wakulla, trailed close behind, with nearly but not all customers without power.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency in 61 Florida counties.
