No sooner had residents of the Bahia Vista Gulf condominium complex dug out from Hurricane Helene than they were faced with the same daunting cleanup from new damage inflicted by Hurricane Milton.

When ankle-deep floodwaters from Hurricane Helene bubbled up through the floors of their home, Kat Robinson-Malone and her husband sent a late-night text message to their neighbours two doors down:"Hey, we're coming."

"Everyone has, like, the chain saw or a tarp," Robinson-Malone said Sunday."But really the most important thing for us was the community we built. And that made all the difference for the hurricane rescue and the recovery. And now, hopefully, the restoration." "The debris has to be 24-7 over this 90-day period," DeSantis said while speaking next to a pile of furniture, lumber and other debris in Treasure Island, an island city near St. Petersburg that has been battered by both recent hurricanes."That's the way you get the job done."

The Sundars lost both their vehicles when Helene's storm surge flooded their garage, so they drove Robinson-Malone's car when they evacuated to Georgia. Arriving, exhausted after the 14-hour trek, Chris Sundar said to Robinson-Malone:"This is where community shines or it falls apart."On Sunday back in Florida, they worked together to remove sticks and logs from a large oak limb that dangled over another neighbour's driveway. Brian Malone cut it up with a chain saw.
