"Time to Reinvent #Florida Once Again"--my deep dive on #Sanibel (the only Florida city to have truly limited growth), the misnamed Lee County, and the opportunity #Ian offers for a new Florida dream. @POLITICOMag @politico
Time to Reinvent Florida Once Again

We sent a team of 15 (12 @UFJSchool students and 3 pros) to ground zero of #HurricaneIan destruction. @juliamcoin & @jack_prator are both from Fort Myers. They produced our first aftermath story to be published. Many more to come. https://www.wuft.org/news/2022/10/02/lifelines-after-landfall-southwest-florida-grapples-with-hurricane-ians-impact/
Incredible reporting by @UFJSchool students out of SW Florida. This is when what we do matters most to the communities we serve. #HurricaneIan https://twitter.com/amygalo_/status/1576309967556313088
Boats piled up at the Legacy Harbour Marina in Ft. Myers following Hurricane Ian. @WUFTNews @ChrisWill_TV @kendallbrandt4
I’m down in Fort Myers with a handful of reporting students from @UFJSchool. We all have a newfound appreciation of nature’s raw power. The destruction is unimaginable.
A lot of our @UFJSchool student journalists will be telling the story of the recovery from the devastating Hurricane Ian in the coming weeks. I'm grateful to @spj_tweets for the resources they provide. Students can find lots of useful information here.
