Hurricane Helene

Over 100 people in Madison County are still in shelters after Hurricane Helene blew through last week. Large sections of the population are still without electricity.

In the Big Bend, some lost nearly everything they own. Some churches canceled regular services while others like Faith Baptist Church in Perry opted to worship outside.

As of 9:00 p.m. Sunday, 43 percent of Jefferson households were without power.

Perry, Florida has been hit by 3 storms in the past 13 months. But locals say the storms haven’t damaged the community’s resolve.

Residents sprayed down the sidewalks at a marina in St. Marks after rising water turned the ground to mud.

When Laurie Lilliott pulled onto her street in Dekle Beach, Florida, after Helene plowed through, she couldn’t see the roofline of her home beyond the palm trees. It had collapsed.

The storm made landfall late Thursday as a Category 4 hurricane.
