Less than 10 days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, the state is now bracing for another potential storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Since making landfall in Florida, Hurricane Helene has been considered one of the most destructive hurricanes of the season so far.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature just won't leave Florida alone. The Sunshine State is on high alert for another storm despite being roughly a week removed from Hurricane Helene. Last week, Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm.

The system became "Tropical Depression 14" on Saturday and is expected to develop into a "near major hurricane," the National Hurricane Center said.

Florida could see a Category 2 hurricane hit next week, bringing surge and high winds to the recovering west coast and serious flood risks to South and Central Florida. The National Hurricane Center’s first cone of uncertainty for Tropical Depression 10 puts it on an eastward path through the Gulf of Mexico and into Florida’s west coast on Wednesday — a second blow for a region still catching its breath from the devastating Category 4 Hurricane Helene.

Western North Carolina, and parts of South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee have been devastated by Hurricane Helene. Here's how you can help.

More than 200 people have been killed from Hurricane Helene, which unleashed devastation across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.
