Hurricane Helene clobbered a large part of Florida. Damage appears to be extensive. However, the storm moved quickly and did the dirty to parts of the interior. Helene was still a hurricane when it hit Georgia. Flooding in the Carolinas and west Tennessee is extensive.
On the bright side it looks like this storm isn’t heading up to Vermont.
There are parts of Florida that have been hit by three hurricanes in a row. How many times can people rebuild? I’ve a friend who’s a big deal in the insurance industry. I’m hope to talk to her soon to see how this storm is going to affect rates.
Just to make things interesting there are potential storms still brewing. It’s entirely possible that a new hurricane could follow the same path as Helene. That would definitely add insult to injury. It makes me wonder how many people will give up on Florida.
There are people in my town who’ve moved here after losing their place in a previous hurricane. This seemed about as far away from the Gulf as they could get without going out west. One guy lost his house when the St. John River flooded.
I think I’d rather deal with a New Hampshire blizzard.
