FOLLOW STORM FOX 4.0: Real-time conditions as Helene passes SWFL

Storm Fox 4.0 gives our Fox 4 Community Correspondents a new tool to track storm conditions and damage, and bring you information in real-time. It has the ability to bring you four live cameras as we drive through the elements.

UPDATE: Friday 7:15 a.m.
The road from Bonita Springs to Fort Myers Beach just opened. Watch as Kaitlin and Mahmoud drive onto the island for the first time since the storm.
