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

While the coastal community of Big Bend has made great progress in cleaning up, they still have a long way to go. Many Keaton Beach residents said there is still a lot of cleanup to be done 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 what it is. Our house right now. It’s just a roof and walls, but you know, all of his family’s things are gone,” Beach said.
