Jim Cantore Freaks Everyone Out By Switching His Hurricane Helene Location

Legendary weather expert Jim Cantore is freaking everyone out by switching his location during Hurricane Helene.
Hurricane Helene, which was a tropical storm that turned into a Category 2 hurricane as it barrels toward Florida's Gulf Coast, could be the worst storm to hit the United States in about a year. The storm could rise to a Category 4 hurricane as it makes landfall in the United States, which could be as soon as later this afternoon. Cantore, an iconic Weather Channel legend, has freaked people out in Florida by switching his location at the last minute, ahead of the storm.
Cantore, an iconic 60-year-old meteorologist known for broadcasting from the most dangerous and intense parts of the storm, had set up shop from Port Richey, Florida earlier this week. However, he's made a change of plans at the last minute.
Cantore has ended up in Tallahassee, Florida, freaking out local residents in Florida.
"Uh oh. Jim Cantore is in Tallahassee," one fan wrote.
"We've been through a few doozies. Stay safe to all in Helene's path," one fan added.
"I miss preparing for a hurricane the old fashioned way - candles, matches, lanterns, crank radio, folding camp stove, sterno, Campbell's soup, Vienna sausages, bread, fill the bathtub and dish basin with water. Bactine. Now we have a generator and I feel empty without the prep," one fan added.
"Looks like Helene could possibly be a Cat 5 when it makes landfall. 😳," one fan added.
Cantore is "praying" that he'll be wrong about Hurricane Helene, but he thinks it'll be a historic storm.
"This will be a historic storm for many including southern Appalachia with flooding and wind damage. Pray I'm wrong, I want to be. Be safe all and protect your families and property as best you can," Cantore said Wednesday.
Our thoughts are with everyone in Florida's Gulf Coast region as the storm is approaching.
Stay safe, everyone.
