Richard Stephens, a 72-year-old south Georgia native with close ties to Reidsville, and his wife Kathy have lived in Bonita Springs, Florida since 1990, and he has lived in his current home since 1994. He looks like a man who lived on the Gulf Coast of Florida and enjoyed the fishing, beaches, sunshine, and the laid back lifestyle that area is famous for. He has lived through five hurricanes including Charlie, (Cat 4 August 2004) and Irma (Cat 3, August 2017), and he thought he’d seen about the worst of the worst of hurricanes.
