A Florida Sheriff’s Office has issued a haunting last message to Taylor County, Tallahassee residents as Hurricane Helene closed in.
The area, set to bear the brunt of the Category 4 storm , advised those who opted not to evacuate to write their personal details in permanent marker on their bodies for identification purposes.
The Facebook post read: “If you or someone you know chose not to evacuate, PLEASE write your, Name, birthday and important information on your arm or leg in A PERMANENT MARKER so that you can be identified and family notified.”
Helene sparked hurricane and flash flood warnings extending beyond the coast into northern Georgia and western North Carolina. Strong winds had already left over 600,000 Florida homes and businesses without power, according to poweroutage. us.
