Source – npr.org. Fort Myers Beach Resilience Tested After Multiple Hurricanes. The residents of Fort Myers Beach, Florida, find themselves in an ongoing struggle, grappling with the aftermath of three hurricanes in just two years. For many, including local boat captain Melody King, the recurring devastation raises a difficult question: Is it time to let go of the place they love so deeply? King, who lost everything during Hurricane Ian two years ago, reflects on the recent Hurricane Milton with a mix of gratitude and anxiety. Though Milton brought destruction, it wasn’t as catastrophic as Ian. “Maybe it’s time to reevaluate what we’re doing here,” King said, contemplating the future of her beloved town.
