Loss projections for Hurricane #Helene based on our Automated Event Response service (AER) have been fluctuating over the past 3 days, even though the expected landfall location has not changed significantly – remarkably, it has essentially stayed within roughly 60-mile long part of the Big bend coastline. However, while catastrophic storm surge can be expected, larger part of the wind-related loss is currently projected for Georgia, not Florida – and it will depend on how far inland and at what intensity will the storm penetrate the mainland, and if large population centers such as Atlanta will be in path of the tropical storm-force winds, as suggested by earlier forecasts.
