Cedar Key is struggling to recover after an 8-foot storm surge submerged much of the coastal town, leaving widespread devastation. One resident kept an eye on her home through a surveillance camera during the storm.

In Clearwater, one of the hardest-hit regions, water levels surged to a record 8.6 feet, eclipsing the previous high of 6.8 feet. Similarly, in East Bay, levels peaked at 7.3 feet, surpassing the old record of 6.7 feet.
