Video from the U.S. Coast Guard shows a Miami-based aircrew in a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter rescue four people, a dog and three cats from an area around Sanibel Island in southwest Florida on Thursday.
The Coast Guard says many other rescues were conducted in the same area.

Yees good
Totally sad. These folks knew, in advance that a CAT 4 was coming
They were warned repeatedly, but they knew better. They stayed. Who stays on and island during a Cat 4? At any rate, this is the deal: Cost of listening to warnings and leaving safely: 1 tank of gas, causalities 0. Cost to ignore warnings and stay: Billions to fish your out with rescue, billions to feed and water you in place, billions in totally avoidable injuries. Causalities: thousands. Well that's the deal. Good work Floridians.
Gee that lady has guts going up in the air like that!
I find it difficult to feel sorry for these people with their million dollar homes and yachts.
Words can't describe the bravery and goodness of the Rescue Personnel involved……….thanks a million times
thank You all rescue personal for what you do!
A fool and their money will soon part . Go figure .
To the men and women of the rescue and cleanup, you are all the heros. God Bless
God bless you all
These guys/gals are true heroes! Forget your ball players, movie stars and politicians…this is heroism. And 'nads of steel, too!
Thanks for CARING,
These people should never been there awful situation
Good, stay off the Island and don't go back.
Sorry why does the young man throw the plastic bottle into the water?? He could take it with him also when empty.
Mot Ed’s needsygr…
so they couldn't do this when Katrina hit New Orleans.. hmmmmmm
Does the fact that Sanibel is (was) merely an over-developed strip of sand susceptible to natural disaster not register with clear-thinking Humans? Especially considering the changing climate patterns of today's world?
Avoid drooling, greedy real estate brokers — education and intellect should prevail. Stop building on sand in the ocean!
Same goes for seaside communities on a shrinking coastline, earthquake fault lines, and hillside dwellings. HELLOOOO??
Great job USCG! But did I hear the grandson say she "wasnt leaving one way or another" (refusing to leave her water-locked island residence, knowing this catastrophic system was coming).
Your tax dollars at work. Money wasted and Coast Guard personnel put at risk to evacuate people from their BEZILLION dollar homes because they refused to leave when they KNEW DAYS BEFORE a devastating hurricane was on the way. Disgusting and infuriating.
Secure Climate funds from fraudsters like DeSantis.
DeSantis defrauded Covid funds to pay for migrant flights.
What would you do next time now that next time is now?
Use natural environment and construct flood swales..
Did he have to lose his 🎒 to fit in?
This is when the coast guard gets all the respect from the other branches of service because nobody does it better than them I salute them
these homes look , from the outside, as survivors and rebuild-able. Seven figure values?
This is exactly why America is #1. Props to the Coast Guard and for taking your pets with you. This is an absolute nightmare!
Respect!

STUPID MORONS

I read some comments before watching and wondered why so many posted about getting choked up and crying. I get it now. Clearly the people (and dog) being rescued are well off financially. But it matters not…the US Coast Guard puts the same value on life no matter who they are. Very nicely done USCG. I have to imagine if I'm stranded anywhere, be it in the middle of the ocean in a life raft or in a $5 million house, the sound of that helicopter is like heaven.
When helicopters work, they can do amazing things.
I've watched this so many times and it fills me with such pride. My heart is out there for all the people on Sanibel Island and all the other areas that were effected.
That said. Can someone tell me what the boy/guy/kid/teen did to catch the CG attention?
Bless these people saving lives.
Thank you to all the young men and women in the Coast Guard you are the best
God Bless You all for saving people and their animals.
Jesus bled to death on the cross and resolved your sins and curses. He resurrected from his grave and destroyed Satan's power. If you believe in Jesus, you will be freed from the law of sin and death forever and become a child of God. Believe in Jesus and welcome him.
He's the Creator God.♡♡♡
