This sailboat owner's boat was ruined in Hurricane Ian, but not before he saved three people.
As McGill speaks, CNN’s cameras show his sailboat, the Valkyrie, lying on its side in the middle of the road.Near the end of the interview, Acosta asked McGill, a former South Dakotan, if he’d ever been through something like this before, to which he replied that he was only eight miles away when a tornado leveled Spencer, South Dakota on May 30, 1998, and that his son had been even closer to the storm.
McGill, who lived in South Dakota from 1993 to 2009, said he's seen other hurricanes while serving in the Navy, watched the Spencer tornado lay trees down and worked as a state corrections officer. He's seen some stuff, in other words. But Ian was different.Even still, his sailboat was likely salvageable, he said. There was some engine trouble, and the fact that it was in the middle of the road, but those are fixable.
McGill’s son, Eric, still lives in South Dakota, and can't drop everything to travel nearly 2,000 miles. So to help his father, he's started a GoFundMe, which has already raised $3,060 of its $10,000 goal. Eric McGill wrote on the site that in addition to the loss of the sailboat, McGill’s motorcycle, his only mode of transportation, was also found destroyed blocks away from his home.
