Determination to rebuild follows Florida’s hurricanes with acceptance that storms will come again

LA Times  

A child’s swing still hangs on a tree, surrounded by debris from homes destroyed by Hurricane Milton, on Manasota Key, Fla. No sooner had residents of the Bahia Vista Gulf condominium complex dug out and from Hurricane Helene than they were faced with the same daunting cleanup from new damage inflicted by Hurricane Milton. “We’re just hopeful we get the insurance company to help us.” Residents of the community’s modest, single-story wood and stucco-fronted cottages worked Saturday to remove broken furniture and tree limbs, stacking debris in the street much like they did after Helene. “Personally, I thought, if it comes, we’re already evacuated and our home is pretty messed up,” she said as friends and relatives helped with the cleanup, removing bathroom fixtures and pulling out damaged boards. National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Close said rivers will “keep rising” for the next several days and result in flooding, mostly around Tampa Bay and northward.
