Local Coast Guard crew saves lives following hurricane

Overnight Wednesday, an MH-60 helicopter crew based at U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater rescued seven people in four separate incidents from southwest Florida to Gulfport.

The Clearwater station sent over 100 service members, four C-130 aircraft and five MH-60 helicopters to Palm Beach in preparation for the major hurricane. Wednesday night, a local search and rescue crew was first dispatched to Ft. Myers to save a man whose boat ran aground deep in a mangrove forest before receiving several more calls for help.

Piney Point weathers the storm

With memories of last year’s emergency discharge of contaminated water from the former phosphate plant still fresh in people’s minds, local stakeholders anxiously watched as Hurricane Ian approached the area.

In March 2021, officials released 215 million gallons of nutrient-rich wastewater from a Piney Point reservoir into Tampa Bay to prevent a total collapse and catastrophic flooding of surrounding neighborhoods. A Manatee County Circuit Court appointed long-time Tampa attorney Herb Donica to oversee the former phosphate plant’s closing in August 2021.
