Hurricane Helene is the third hurricane to hit Florida's Big Bend region in a littler over a year. Here's which towns the storms made landfall in

It's not Déjà vu, we have had four landfalling hurricanes in less than four years in the Big Bend area of Florida.

The region has endured two other hurricanes recently, but many more people appeared to be evacuating this time, leaving their small coastal towns eerily empty.

Helene made landfall in Florida's "sparsely-populated Big Bend area, home to fishing villages and vacation hideaways," The Associated Press said, but damage from the storm stretched along Florida's west coast and into neighboring states.

Here's where the Big Bend region is, why it's called that and an update on Hurricane Helene as it approaches Florida's Gulf Coast.
