ONE LAST THING
Poynter thankfully escaped damage from Hurricane Helene last week. However, the storm surge did touch parts of our campus, which as many of you know is located just a few hundred feet from Tampa Bay.
A tape measure next to a tree trunk on campus showed the water rose 27 inches on one side of the building, while part of the foundation on another side saw 13 inches of storm surge.
Thank you from all of us here at Poynter for your texts, emails, calls and well-wishes. We deeply appreciate that you were thinking about us!
