Judy Wolff, 77, stands in her damaged riverfront home in Fort Myers, Fla., Thursday, Sept. 29, 2022. Never having seen flooding reach her house in previous storms, Wolff and her two dogs rode out the storm at home. The rising waters shattered her glass patio doors and blocked the exit with the flood of furniture they carried with them. Wolff placed her two dogs on the dining table and stayed stuck as the waters rose to waist height before receding. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)AP
