Hurricane Helene: flood insurance cost concerns after storm

The Category 4 hurricane knocked out power to some hospitals in southern Georgia, and Gov. Brian Kemp said authorities had to use chainsaws to clear debris and open up roads. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph) when it made landfall late Thursday in a sparsely populated region in Florida’s rural Big Bend area, home to fishing villages and vacation hideaways where the state’s panhandle and peninsula meet. LiveNOW from FOX host Christy Matino spoke to Liz Lebron, a homeowner out in St. Pete about how storms such as Helene can impact residents.
