Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm causing significant damage in Florida's panhandle, leading to state emergencies and substantial financial losses.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for 41 counties while Georgia suffered fatalities due to the storm, with significant repercussions expected in recovery efforts.
With rising insurance costs, Florida homeowners face an average insurance premium of nearly $6,000, which is over three times the national average, complicating recovery.
Estimations indicate that 25,000 homes along the Gulf Coast were at risk of flooding, potentially resulting in financial losses up to $5.6 billion after Hurricane Helene.
