“It was a big, damaging storm,” DeSantis said in an interview with News4JAX. “What struck me the most is the resilience of the people and just all hands have been on deck.”

“The things that were done in Matthew worked well, but now we don’t have any dunes. The next storm, a nor’easter will take everything out,” said William Whitson, Flagler Beach city manager. DeSantis said he’ll sign off on those fixes if local Rep. Paul Renner, R-District 24, brings them to the budget.“I think part of the issue is going to be most of the damage, I think for homes particularly outside the Southwest Florida barrier islands, is likely flood damage,” DeSantis said.The destructiveness of recent hurricanes is in on display at Flagler Beach.
