A teenager who was floating on a section of fence in an area flooded by Hurricane Milton was rescued Thursday.

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies were patrolling a boat when they encountered the 14-year-old.

Footage released by the sheriff’s office shows the boy alone in the water in Tampa as the boat docked with deputies.

“We’re coming to you. Be careful,” one MP can be heard saying.

The teenager is seen boarding the ship to safety. He suffered no injuries, the sheriff’s office told Fox News Digital.

FEMA chief denies the agency is short on disaster relief money because the money went to illegal immigrants
