The Sarasota Police Department's Emergency Response Team is rescuing residents stuck in flooded areas due to Hurricane Debby. The team began transporting residents from flooded homes to higher ground around 11 a.m. Monday using ATVs and boats, according to an X post by the police department. The rescues are happening in the Pinecraft area near Bahia Vista Street and Tuttle Avenue. Pictures show residents trudging through floodwaters with large bags and buckets filled with belongings. The road where rescue teams are is completely submerged in water. "All material things can be replaced," resident Jessica McIntyre said. She added that floodwaters in her home are up to her neck, but she is still helping her neighbors relocate. A county evacuation center opens at 5 p.m. Monday at Sarasota Technical College, located at 4748 S. Beneva Road in Sarasota. Officials said people who need help getting to the center can call 311. People are asked not to walk or drive through floodwaters MORE: https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/sarasotacounty/sarasota-flood-rescues-hurricane-debby/67-2a6d147a-4bde-4a18-8df5-a4926092d81e
