Community Strength: Neighbors Come Together After Hurricane Damage.

Hurricane Helene brought a lot of rain and flooding to Tampa, Florida. Many people had to leave their homes because of the high water.

Three families, the Malones, the Sundars, and the Carstensens, are close friends and neighbors. They helped each other during the hurricane by sharing food, watching each other's kids, and cleaning up.

When another hurricane, Hurricane Milton, came towards Tampa, the three families decided to evacuate together. They drove a long way to Atlanta, Georgia, with all their kids, pets, and belongings.

The hurricanes caused a lot of damage in Florida, but people are working hard to clean up and rebuild. The government is helping by providing money and workers to remove debris.

Even though the hurricanes were scary, the three families are grateful for their friendship and support for each other. They know they can get through anything as long as they have each other.
