Description
On Siesta Key, a beautiful barrier island near Sarasota where Hurricane Milton made landfall, it left a desolate landscape. Some streets were still flooded on Friday. Fallen trees and debris -- sofas, beds, chairs and appliances, much of it left behind by Helene -- were strewn haphazardly on roadsides. "It's just terrible," says John Maloney, 61, who owns a home remodeling company. "I think we'll rebuild again." Kristin Hale, another resident says, "When you live in paradise, that's what you pay for, right?" IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
