All we can do is guess at this point.

The winds normally dissipate quickly over land. We're 90 or so miles away from Tampa which means a lot of dissipation.

There have been a few hurricanes since I bought here in 2018. Some of them might have hit as Category 3. Some heavy winds here but no devastation.

The biggest impact from Helene was water, whether storm surge, flooded rivers, or mud slides. For the most part, those will have little impact here.
