The City of Bonita Springs encourages residents to continue to monitor the impacts of the storm this afternoon and evening.
Bonita Springs, Sept. 26, 2024 – Bonita Springs encourages residents to continue to monitor Hurricane Helene as it impacts Southwest Florida this afternoon and evening. The city continues to coordinate with Lee County Emergency Operations, Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District, Lee County Sheriff’s Office, and other partners on storm response.
This morning the city experienced street flooding from storm surge. Some of the flooding has receded with the onset of low tide. As our area experiences the onshore winds from Hurricane Helene, combined with an incoming tide, there is potential for additional street flooding this evening. Once the storm passes, it will take the infrastructure time to drain. Please use caution and don’t drive through flooded roads. If the roadway is covered with water, take another route. Essential City staff are monitoring & patrolling within the city throughout the duration of the storm. Please monitor local law enforcement social media for road information.
Residents who use generators should place generators at least 20 feet from doors and windows and should keep the exhaust pointed away from homes.
Bonita Springs Government has announced it will re-open Friday after a one-day closure due to Hurricane Helene. Visit the City of Bonita Springs Website for more information. The city has also created a webpage for Hurricane Helene. Storm-specific information will posted here. Follow the City of Bonita Springs on Facebook.
