In areas closer to the Big Bend such as Steinhatchee , storm surge reached up to 9.63 feet (2.94 m), while areas as far south as Key West experienced storm surge of 1 to 3 feet (0.30 to 0.91 m).
Maps show the areas impacted by storm surge, rainfall levels and more as Helene, once a major hurricane and now a tropical storm, moves inland from Florida's Gulf Coast over Georgia.
