A man living in a Florida island city that was inundated with Hurricane Helene’s deadly storm surge reportedly used his surfboard to rescue about a dozen of his neighbors – as well as pets – from flooded homes.
As told by WTVT, Marty Thomas’s heroics on Indian Rocks Beach provided one of a precious few uplifting stories to come in the wake of Helene, which has killed at least 200 people across six south-eastern US states on Thursday as search crews continued combing through the storm’s wreckage.
