A Matlacha local who lost everything inspires people with a helping hand
A few hours before sunset, we caught a ride out of the Burnt Store Boat Ramp with Steve Powers, a Matlacha resident who lost everything but keeps giving back. To ride on a boat with Powers is like hanging out with the mayor of a small town. He seems to know everyone, everywhere. Powers has called Matlacha his home for decades. However, after Hurricane Ian, his mobile home on the island is a total loss; his shrimp boat hasn't been seen since Hurricane Ian barreled through, and another boat is leaning on its side against the seawall. https://wfts.tv/3CC7HWG
