When Hurricane Helene battered Florida’s Gulf Coast this week, one of the hardest-hit areas was the small town of Steinhatchee, which was overwhelmed by a 10-foot storm surge and 140 mph winds. Most of the town’s 500 residents evacuated the area — and returned to find their homes and businesses destroyed.

Palm Beach Post's Anne Geggis and Greg Lovett are reporting from Florida Big Bend, Steinhatchee where Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall.
