Wow. “The man & his dog were reportedly in good medical condition. They were brought to Southwest Florida International airport to meet with EMS. The vessel is adrift and disabled.”
#Breaking @USCG Air Station #Clearwater saved a man & his dog, Thurs., during Hurricane #Helene after his 36-ft sailboat became disabled & started taking on water approximately 25 miles off Sanibel Island. Call the #USCG for help on VHF Ch. 16 or dial 911 for storm distress. #SAR

Heartbreaking
Steinhatchee damage from Helene. Sentimental place for me the last couple of years being there for storms... and becoming a big fan of Roy's which is now gone. Also had some fun at the bar across the street.. also gone. Stayed at the hotel next door... with big damage here.
