Good morning, Naples.

The bronze sculpture of soaring seagulls was restored and is on display at the Marco Island Historical Museum’s Modern Marco exhibit—this historic piece was commissioned in 1965 by Deltona Corporation, damaged by Hurricane Irma in 2017, and restored in 2024 by the Marco Island Historical Society. This work now marks a key part of the island’s rich history.

Hurricane season started June 1 and lasts until November 30; records show that no Category 5 hurricane has hit Southwest Florida even though storms like Hurricane Ian came close — experts say a similar storm is very unlikely.

Forecasters will continue to monitor the Atlantic and Gulf for any signs of severe storms.

Residents in southwest Florida are still cleaning up from last year’s storms and preparing for more damage after hurricane season began on June 1st; many are boarding up windows, clearing yards, and securing supplies to brace for new storms — steps they say are essential for protecting their homes. The ongoing recovery work shows how locals are focusing on both repairing past damage and getting ready for future impacts.

UF/IFAS Extension has provided hurricane preparedness tips for residents, offering guidance on water, food, documents, pet safety, home protection and proper landscaping — the Florida Homeowners Handbook gives advice on reinforcing roofs and windows while EDEN supports post-storm recovery efforts through local county offices. This guidance helps Floridians stay ready as hurricane season unfolds.
