Hurricanes happen. We prepare for them and know how to weather storms. But two back-to-back major hurricanes in as many weeks is a lot, even for the most grizzled local. Helene brought a record surge to our coastal community, and Milton was a nasty wind event. I rode out both storms. Milton\u2019s eye passed through my neighborhood, and the backside of the eyewall was like nothing I\u2019ve experienced in previous storms. My church, West Bradenton, responded immediately. Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve learned from the past few weeks."}
