With 125 mph winds, Hurricane Idalia was a devastating storm. Homeowners in Horseshoe Beach, Steinhatchee, Lake City, and Live Oak were left with serious property damage, which included roofs of homes being destroyed or blowing off completely, windows shattering, and an incredible amount of flooding.
The hurricane damage in Horseshoe Beach was major, with residents now left cleaning up after the storm. Steinhatchee faced significant amounts of damage, and an aerial view of the area shows just how destructive the Hurricane Idalia damage was.
With all of this damage, residents of these cities and others are now in a rush to file claims with their insurance providers. While it’s important to file on time, it’s recommended that residents take the time to file properly.
