In late September and early October, the Southeastern United States was hit with a historical one-two punch in Hurricanes Helene and Milton.<\/p>\n
Flooding and high winds destroyed houses and businesses, took out power, washed out roads, and knocked down trees, creating havoc within communities. The two storms caused an estimated $20-34 billion worth of damages and killed an estimated 300 people. The affected areas are often just now getting back to what would\u2019ve been considered \u201cthe basics\u201d before the storms, and it\u2019ll likely be years before they\u2019re fully recovered.<\/p>\n
