Varias personas llenan sacos de arena en el Complejo Deportivo Joe DiMaggio por posibles inundaciones ante la llegada de la tormenta tropical Helene en Clearwater, Florida, el 25 de septiembre de 2024. El 24 de septiembre, Florida empezó a prepararse para Helene, que tocará tierra a finales de semana como un potente huracán de categoría 3. Según el Centro Nacional de Huracanes, se prevé que Helene, que en estos momentos se agita sobre el Caribe con vientos máximos sostenidos de 85 km por hora, se fortalezca rápidamente a través del Golfo de México antes de azotar la costa de Florida el 26 de septiembre.
