The Ringling’s Ca’ d’Zan is closed and Historic Spanish Point is reopening in the wake of damage caused by Hurricane Helene.

A long recovery is underway in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. From Anna Maria Island to downtown Sarasota, the damage is in the hundreds of millions of dollars. "Everybody just lost everything," said Shayna Roberts of Cortez Village.

Hurricane Helene, now with winds at 125 mph, has sent rain, wind and storm surge into Sarasota and Manatee counties.
