Florida teacher killed by Hurricane Helene – chilling last moments

“I remember her fondly!! So saddened to hear of her passing,” writes one Facebook user.

A second shares, “She was one kind-hearted woman and if you knew her you would never forget her. Such a beautiful soul to lose from so many people. God Rest her Soul.”

Another adds, “This is heartbreaking, things like this make you realize how you can’t take any one or any day for granted.”

Destruction
Boles and Moran have spent the past several days cleaning up after fatal floods stole almost everything, including furniture, personal possessions and clothing.

But losing a best friend to what Boles says, “is obviously the worst we have ever, ever seen,” is the most painful.

“We lost three trees with [Hurricane] Irma, but we still had our house, we still had all our belongings, and we still had Donna,” said Boles, a resident of Indian Rocks Beach for 25 years.

She adds, “And I know there are others out here that lost their lives as well. Just pray for everybody right now.”

Boles said Fagersten’s cat did survive, and her friends are working to find him a safe home.

According to USA Today, Hurricane Helene’s devastating 800-mile path northward caused historic flooding, left more than 2 million homes without power and claimed the lives of more than 100 people.
