Robert Turick, 68, works to clear household debris that Hurricane Milton storm surge swept from other properties into his canal-facing back yard, in Englewood, Fla., Friday, Oct. 11, 2024. Turick, whose family has owned the home for more than 25 years, said it had never flooded until 2022's Hurricane Ian, but since then, it has flooded in three more hurricanes, each bringing higher water levels than the last. A small positive, said Turick, is that he hadn't yet begun repairs after Hurricane Helene's 3-foot flood waters before Hurricane Milton brought five feet of flooding.
