The little village of Steinhatchee, located along US ‘ Florida’s Gulf Coast, was left in ruins after Hurricane Helene unleashed 140 miles winds and a 10-foot wind wave this week. Most of the city’s 500 people evacuated, only to profit and get their homes and businesses destroyed, according to the New York Post.
” It’s heartbreaking”, said Donna Landon, whose mobile home on the outskirts of Steinhatchee was totally lost. The tide’s influence has left some houses standing, with the remaining buildings seriously damaged. ” I do n’t think there’s anyone who has n’t been touched by this”, Landon added.
Linemen from neighboring states arrived on Friday to begin the challenging task of restoring the area’s power grid. A maintenance crew member, Russ Rhodes, warned the people and said,” It’s going to take weeks to fix it. We’re generally going to have to start from scratch”.
A famous local formation on the Steinhatchee River, Roy’s Restaurant, was even destroyed. Manager Linda Wicker vowed to recover once more after her group recently reopened following Hurricane Idalia next time. ” It’s insured, but it’s never enough”, Wicker told the Palm Beach Post, determined to help her 30 people.
Plants blocked roads and power beams were shattered in the nearby town of Perry, a place of of 7, 000 people. There is no running water or electricity, and houses have been ripped off. ” I’ve been in Florida all my living, and it’s never been this poor”, said 80-year-old Nancy Belleville, grateful for her life.
