Hurricane Helene

Residents of North Redington and St. Petersburg are returning after Hurricane Milton evacuation orders hoping to have a home to return after two major hurricanes hit Florida’s Gulf Coast in just over two weeks.

The area was experienced two hurricanes in as many weeks and is now working to recover.

Cómo se preparan las comunidades para el huracán Milton tras no recuperarse del todo del huracán Helene.

Chris Lasiter, 32, stands inside his Steinhatchee, Fla., home Friday, Oct. 4, 2024, after it was destroyed by the storm surge caused by Hurricane Helene in September.

With still at least a day until it makes landfall, Hurricane Milton has already reached over 180 mph winds, making it the fifth strongest hurricane in Atlantic history.

Steinhatchee, with a population of 500, got hit especially hard during the 500 mile wide storm. Its marinas, businesses and homes have also been hit by Hurricanes Idalia and Debby in the last 13 months – and Hurricane Milton is expected to cause significant damage in Florida this week.

As hurricane Milton approaches, Crystal River wildlife researchers and advocates are concerned about how a second hurricane in less than two weeks will further affect manatee habitat.

Mientras el centro y sur del estado de la Florida se prepara para el embate directo del huracán Milton, el norte sigue en modo de recuperación.

El huracán Helene destruyó muchas ciudades costeras de Florida, Cedar Key, es una de ellas. Situada en la costa este del norte central de Florida, la ciudad sufrió inundaciones y marejadas de más de dos metros de altura. Mientras los residentes trabajan para reconstruirlo, llegó ayuda de todo el estado.
