The first floor of Susan Rall’s home in St. Petersburg, Florida, was flooded with two feet of water from the storm surge caused by Hurricane Helene in late September, even though she’s two streets away from the ocean. Everything she couldn’t carry to the second floor was destroyed, she says. It’s now piled on the side of the street in front of her townhouse condominium, including antique furniture and a $3,000 leather couch, along with the waterlogged belongings of her neighbors.
