There have been lots of local "Reels" post on Facebook and the devastation is unbelievable!

I love the little town of Cedar Key and it was "decimated" by this storm.  

We've had floods up to a foot but this flood was 6' to 8'.  It left a foot of sand on the roads in the Coastal towns.  Can you imagine trying to remove 1 foot of wet sand from your home!

Lots of prayers needed.

Just found that reason to declutter my closet!  I sure it can be used now!

@LTT1  I was a little shocked at the westerly turn.  It usually hangs an eastern turned.  We would have been swamped with water.  Till the next one.  The hurricane season has been extended.  Not more hurricanes....but stronger ones.

@bells4me  Quite a few people prefer to stay in their houses.  They want to protect what they have.  Bailing water, etc.

I grew up in Florida.  We had several hurricanes a year and some, but never devasting damage!   Played in the water, liked them!

From 1992 when Andrew hit until now, storms just keep getting larger and stronger.  Helene was a monster!

Don't know what the cause is but sure do hope they stop!
