In a devastating turn of events, residents of Horseshoe Beach in Florida's Big Bend region are grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the third hurricane to hit the area in just over a year. The community, already reeling from the impacts of Hurricane Idalia and Hurricane Debby, is facing unprecedented challenges as they attempt to rebuild their lives.
Many residents, like Brooke Hiers and her husband Clint, have lost their homes multiple times due to the relentless force of these storms. The lack of affordable homeowner's insurance for flood-prone houses has left families with limited options - rebuild on stilts, move into RVs, or leave the communities they have called home for generations.
