Towards the end of September, Hurricane Helene came crashing through Florida. The Sunshine State is no stranger to storms and bad weather. Though Helene truly did some damage that Floridians are still recovering from in real time.
Today, cleanup efforts continue as residents try to rebuild after heavy winds and extreme flooding caused significant property damage. Some folks lost their homes and businesses altogether, leaving them forced to file insurance claims and seek help from FEMA.
State officials have been volunteering with cleanup efforts and getting critical supplies to folks in need. Though as Floridians work to bounce back from Helene’s destruction, yet another storm could be quickly heading their way.
