Wow. There's something fishy about this whole thing. I stitched 3 different news report. Each with different important info.

I customized this background and description.

Spectrum news 9/6/24: SARASOTA, Fla. — The Sarasota Police Department says they've rescued about 500 people from flooded homes in the wake of Tropical Storm Debby.

The area experienced extensive flooding, with some neighborhood seeing waters rise as much as four feet.

FOX13 Tampa Bay 8/7/24: SARASOTA, Fla. - Neighborhoods that have never flooded in Sarasota County saw large amounts of water in some areas after Hurricane Debby. And, many of the homeowners didn't have flood insurance.

State Senator Joe Gruters took a tour of some of the flooding in the Sarasota County neighborhood of Laurel Meadows from the back of a resident's Humvee.

"This is unlike any storm I’ve ever been through," said Gruters. 

"You’ve just got to feel for the families that were impacted. Lives are literally ruined," he said.

Gruters, who grew up in Sarasota County, wanted answers as to why neighborhoods from Bahia Vista to Laurel Meadows and other sections of the county flooded.

"I’d like the state to have an investigation to determine what happened here," he said. "Why are some of these neighborhoods getting flooded like this, where a couple of days after the storm, it’s still halfway up the house, halfway in the houses."
