STORYLINE:
Hurricane Helene has weakened to a Category 1 hurricane on Friday with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph).
The National Hurricane Center says the storm has traveled north from Florida to Georgia and was about 100 miles (161 km) from Augusta and 40 miles (64 km) from Macon, moving at about 30 mph (48 kph) at 4 a.m. EDT (0800GMT).
The center says Helene came ashore Thursday evening in the Big Bend area of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Officials have forecast storm surges of up to 20 feet (6 meters) and warned they could be particularly “catastrophic and unsurvivable” in Florida’s Apalachee Bay.
Hurricane warnings and flash flood warnings extend far beyond the coast up into northern Georgia and western North Carolina.
At least three deaths have been reported.
