Not only is Helene strong, the hurricane is massive. Here's why size will make a big difference when it comes to landfall in Florida.

Most of the area around Apalachee Bay is undeveloped state-protected land. There are a few exceptions. Horseshoe Beach is a pre-planned development that juts out into the Bay. It is perched on the dangerous side of Helene's expected path, on the "dirty" east side where winds and the surge are the highest.
