Local groups helping families evicted from condemned International Drive hotel
Seventy-two families living at the Howard Johnson Hotel on International Drive must vacate the premises by Monday morning, leaving many without a clear plan for housing. The tenants, who have been residing at the hotel for months, were given no notice or explanation for the sudden eviction. Many, like Megan Reeves, who moved in just last Saturday and paid for two weeks, are left scrambling for solutions. 'I'm completely overwhelmed,' said Megan Reeves, who was informed she had to leave after returning from work on Wednesday. 'What am I supposed to do? Like, I don't know.'Travis Wieand, another tenant, reported that the hotel had been experiencing issues such as water outages, mold, and pest infestations. 'We're going to go back to being homeless,' he said, expressing concern over the potential legal consequences of homelessness in Orlando. Tenants were originally told they had to leave by 6 p.m. Wednesday, but the City of Orlando intervened to extend utilities until Monday morning to prevent immediate homelessness. However, the building still lacks a working sprinkler system. The Coalition for the Homeless and other nonprofit organizations provided food, toiletries, school supplies, and information on shelters and affordable housing to assist the displaced families. Melony Hall, a former housekeeper at the hotel, described the chaotic situation as residents tried to figure out their next steps. 'Everybody's running around crazy because they don't know what they're going to do,' she Legal Services was also present, offering legal assistance to tenants who might need help navigating the situation. The sudden eviction has left many families in a state of uncertainty, with community groups stepping in to provide immediate support. The situation underscores the challenges faced by vulnerable populations in securing stable housing. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.

Video shows South Florida family rescuing entangled sea turtle off Key West
A South Florida family on a snorkeling trip helped save a green sea turtle trapped in a commercial fishing trap's buoy line near the Florida Keys. A video of the rescue was submitted Friday, though the exact date of the incident is unknown. Kim Falconer spotted the turtle in distress while heading toward Sand Key, a popular dive spot about seven miles southwest of Key West in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. She contacted The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, where manager Bette Zirkelbach coordinated with Falconer to free the animal. Video of the rescue showed a person carefully working to loosen the rope wrapped around the turtle's front flipper and shell. The turtle's head broke the surface several times as the rescuer maneuvered the line free, and in the final moments, the animal swam away unimpeded into the blue. Green sea turtles are classified as "threatened" under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Zirkelbach urged boaters in the Keys to report injured or distressed turtles by calling The Turtle Hospital at 305-481-7669 or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-3922.

Florida woman wins annual python challenge with record snake haul
A Florida woman has been crowned the winner of the state's annual python challenge after raking in dozens of the invasive species in this year's competition. Taylor Stanberry placed first after wrangling 60 of the snakes during the 10-day competition in the Everglades, raking in a whopping $10,000 prize, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "I hunted every day from sundown to sunup looking for pythons," Stanberry told Fox News Digital. "It was tiring, but so worth it to save the native species here in Florida and to take home the title of first female Ultimate Grand Prize Winner." This year's competition wrangled in a record 294 invasive Burmese pythons, with over 900 participants from throughout the United States and Canada accepting the challenge in south Florida's swamp. "The 2025 Florida Python Challenge can go in the books as a success thanks to the hard work of staff, generous support from our partners, continued leadership of Governor DeSantis and involvement of the many competitors in this year's event," Rodney Barreto, FWC Chairman, said. Stanberry is the first woman to earn first place in the competition, while also breaking the previous record for most snakes caught since it began in 2013, FWC confirmed to Fox News Digital. She also works as a contract hunter for the state. "I am honored for that title," Stanberry said. "Not only because I work hard daily to save the Evergaldes and the native species that call the Evergaldes home, but also because there are tons of other hard-working hunters out there - many of them being amazing female contractors." The competition invites novice and professional snake catchers to Florida's Everglades in an attempt to cut down on the invasive species harming the state's wildlife. Participants are required to trap and humanely kill each snake. "Under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida has taken unprecedented steps to remove invasive pythons, protect our natural resources and conserve native wildlife," South Florida Water Management District Governing Board Member "Alligator Ron" Bergeron said, adding, "Long live the Everglades!"
