KEATON BEACH, Fla. (WCTV) – Last weekend marked one month since Hurricane Helene made landfall in Taylor County.

While the Big Bend coastal community has made a lot of progress in cleaning up, it still has a long way to go. Many Keaton Beach residents said there is still so much to do before many people can even think about rebuilding their homes.

Taylor County Property Appraiser Shawna Beach said her home was destroyed during Helene and she plans to move inland to Perry.

“You don’t want to take your eight-year-old back to a war zone, and that’s really it. Our home right now. It’s just a roof and walls, but you know, all her family’s stuff is gone,” Beach said.
