Hurricane Helene may have passed, but Sarasota and Manatee counties are still suffering from damage and flooding due to the storm.

Hurricane Helene, now with winds at 125 mph, has sent rain, wind and storm surge into Sarasota and Manatee counties.

At 11 a.m. Tuesday, Helene was moving toward the northwest near 12 mph with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. This general motion is expected later Tuesday and Tuesday night, followed by a faster northward turn to north-northeastward motion on Wednesday and Thursday.
