Bodycam footage showed the rescue of a Fort Myers Beach resident from rising floodwaters on Thursday, September 26, as Hurricane Helene roared ashore in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 — one of the most powerful storms to hit the United States. Reuters confirmed the location by the road layout, buildings and signs seen in the video which matched file and satellite imagery of the area. The date was verified by the timecode seen in the bodycam footage.
