Cedar Key Community Bands Together to Survive Hurricane Season
As the hurricane season nears its end, Cedar Key is recovering from the damage caused by Hurricanes Idalia and Helene, hoping to survive the year unscathed.
Hurricane Idalia made landfall in 2023 as a Category 3, 58 miles northwest of the island, the strongest hurricane to hit the Big Bend region in 125 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
A year later, Hurricane Helene struck as a Category 4, wiping out residents' progress toward rebuilding the city.
"We love help, but we don’t count on it,"
said Cedar Key Mayor Jeff Webb, a 58-year-old third-generation resident, emphasizing the city's self-reliant nature.
- Just three months after Helene struck the island, business owners reopened their doors to customers.
- This season has been a breath of fresh air for residents, with no hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. yet.
Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November.
