Tropical Storm Helene has intensified into a hurricane and is predicted to turn into a dangerous Category 3 storm before hitting the US Gulf Coast on Thursday.

Forecasters warn the major hurricane could bring "life-threatening" storm surge, damaging winds and flooding to a large portion of Florida and the south-eastern US.
