Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene hit Florida; the entire city was “deleted” from the map! There is a picture of destruction
Areas around Steinhatchee were also affected by Helen. But the hardest hit is this city, about 145 kilometers southeast of Tallahassee, Florida’s capital.
Everywhere the eye goes, there is only a picture of destruction. Many houses were destroyed by the storm. Many people are homeless. Crying, crying all around. Such is the situation of the small town of Steinhatchee on Florida’s Gulf Coast after the devastating Hurricane Helen.
Last Thursday, it hit Steinhatchee at a speed of about 225 km/h. A 10-foot tornado destroyed the entire city.
However, 500 residents of the city were evacuated to safer places in advance of the hurricane. They did not have to endure Helen’s rudeness. But they felt the shock when they came back.
Returning to Steinhatch after the disaster passed, the local residents found their beloved city destroyed by the storm. It was as if their city had been wiped off the map.
Steinhatchee resident Donna Landon’s home was destroyed by Hurricane Helene “It’s heartbreaking,” he told the New York Post. We’ve been wiped off the map. There is nothing left. i have insurance We have to start all over again with that money.”

Areas around Steinhatchee were also affected by Hurricane Helene. But the hardest hit is this city, about 145 kilometers southeast of Tallahassee, Florida’s capital.
A few buildings still remain in the town of Steinhatchee. But the condition of those too is pitiful. Locals have already started repairing those houses in war conditions.
“I don’t think there’s anyone in town who wasn’t affected by the Hurricane Helene,” Landon said. We all live together. Everyone knows everyone. So everyone has extended their hands to help everyone.”
One of the city’s favorite spots is the Rose Restaurant on the banks of the Steinhatchee River. It was destroyed by the Hurricane Helene. The restaurant reopened nine months ago after extensive damage in Hurricane Idalia. But it turned into ruins again due to Helen’s attack.
Despite the overwhelming damage, restaurant owner Linda Wicker vowed to rebuild the restaurant. “I think we have to fix it,” Linda told the media. Even if you get some compensation through insurance, it is not enough. But 30 workers depend on my restaurant for their living. They have to see.
Almost none of Steinhatchee’s electric poles survived Helen’s rampage. Electricity department workers have been working on repairs since Friday. Repairs to the city’s power grid are underway. However, the local administration feels that it will take a lot of time to restore electricity.
Russ Rhodes, an employee of the Department of Electricity, said in this regard, “It may take several weeks to fix everything. We have to start from zero.”
Notably, in addition to Steinhatchee, many coastal cities in Florida were hit by Hurricane Helen’s devastating effects. It is a Category-4 storm. As of September 28, at least 45 people have lost their lives due to Helen.
According to a New York Post report, Helen’s impact also affected the lives of about 7,000 residents of the coastal town of Perry.
Many roads were blocked by uprooted trees, many power poles were broken, and the roofs of many houses collapsed in the city. Power and water supply are currently off in that city as well. But the rescue work has started.
Nancy lived in Belleville for the last few years of her life in Florida. “I have lived in Florida all my life,” he told the media. I have never seen anything so bad in my entire life. But I am still alive, and so are my loved ones. I am thankful to God for saving us.”
