Hurricane Milton brought high winds to Longboat Key but not a storm surge, a welcome relief after Helene's high waters took a heavy toll on homes.

John Parisi showed Local 10 News’ Jenise Fernandez his mobile home park in Longboat Key. It was the second time in two weeks he and his neighbors are dealing with devastation from a hurricane. He explained to us first the damage from Hurricane Helene, which was mostly a water event, but Milton was a wind event, and it’s evident to see.

Town crews spent Thursday assessing damage from Hurricane Milton and working with the Florida Department of Transportation to clear debris from the island.
