Anastasia Russel, 18, is among the students currently sheltering-in-place at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida as Hurricane Helene approaches. The university's Augustus B. Turnbull Conference Center has been upgraded to withstand extreme conditions, equipped with hurricane shutters, debris curtains on windows, and emergency generators capable of powering essential units.
Russel expressed concerns about the safety of her dormitory during the storm and mentioned her discomfort about sleeping in the conference center. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful and is making the best of the situation.
