Thursday a CAT 4️⃣hurricane made landfall in the WTXL ABC 27 market. It was the second time a hurricane made landfall in Taylor County in 2️⃣ months. The 3️⃣rd time a hurricane made landfall in the county in 13 months. Heartbreaking doesn’t even feel like an adequate enough word to describe what this has been for people in our market across North Florida and South Georgia 💔 Today I decided to go out into the field with Maya Sargent as she talked to families in Taylor County neighborhoods. Grateful to be in that world for just a few hours. Talking to people about why they’ll never leave this county, despite the storms. Hearing business owners talk about why they are stepping up to feed their communities. And we even helped rescue a cat. We’re smiling in this first picture because of the last interview we did. Such an AMAZING business owner - with the most incredibly positive attitude. Her message - people need to be compassionate, kind and caring. What a day ❤️🥹
