DRONE FOOTAGE: Extensive damage in Florida after hurricane Helene hits barrier islands

Drone footage showed extensive damage across Pinellas County in Florida on Saturday (September 28) after Hurricane Helene’s destructive force hit the region, one of the most powerful and perhaps costliest storms to hit the country.
Video released by the county showed numerous emergency response vehicles and personnel working on flooded and muddy streets, as boats were grounded in front yards. On Friday (September 27), county authorities found at least five people dead.
At least 47 deaths were reported by early Saturday across the southeastern U.S., and officials feared still more bodies would be discovered across several states.
Damage estimates across the storm's rampage range between $95 billion and $110 billion, potentially making this one of the most expensive storms in modern U.S. history, according to a chief meteorologist of AccuWeather, a commercial forecasting company.
Downgraded late on Friday to a post-tropical cyclone, the remnants of Helene continued to produce heavy rains across several states, sparking massive flooding that threatened to cause dam failures that could inundate entire towns.

Honestly pretty much what one would expect living next to the ocean and the hurricane passing through.
Just because they built it doesn't mean it does not mean it can be insured.
Good luck

This much flooding and the center of the hurricane was 100 miles offshore. It's going to be devastation if it's a direct hit.
