Hurricane Milton caused widespread devastation in Florida and there are many people still affected, but there are some heartwarming stories in the aftermath that give us all hope.
Like this sweet story of a scared kitten who was found hiding under a car by two journalists, and is now in safe hands.
Two journalists from the Washington DC area, photographer David Barcenas and reporter Christopher Salas, were dispatched to Florida to cover Hurricane Milton. There on the scene, they picked up an unexpected new member of their crew.
While the two were parked outside an evacuation center, someone told them they heard meowing coming from their vehicle. The journalists stopped to investigate, and discovered a kitten, taking shelter from the storm under their car.
They picked up the cat and brought her into the safety of their vehicle, dried her with a towel and picked her up some tuna to snack on.
