Dramatic footage shows the moment a Coast Guard helicopter team rescued two Florida boaters lost 73 miles offshore during Hurricane Debby.

The 34-foot boat lost its sail off the coast of Boca Grande on Sunday, the U.S. Coast Guard wrote in a press release. 

The rescue mission was launched after 5 p.m. the day before, when the boaters’ friends called the St. Petersburg Coast Guard station to report that the two men had missed their scheduled check-in as they sailed from Key West to Tarpon Springs.

Despite weather conditions with low visibility, 15- to 20-foot seas and 50-knot winds, an Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane rescue crew finally spotted the stranded boaters about 11 a.m. the next day.

The crew hoisted the pair into their helicopter and brought them to Air Station Clearwater.

“Some of the most important factors in any search and rescue case is accurate information and safety equipment,” said Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hooper, a search and rescue mission coordinator at Coast Guard District Seven.

“We received an updated satellite position from the boaters’ friend, which led to them being successfully located,” the statement continued. “This rescue was a collaborative effort between District Seven and Sector St. Petersburg while Tropical Storm Debby crossed the region.”

Debby, which has since been downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm, initially made landfall along Florida’s Big Bend region early Monday morning as a Category 1 hurricane, killing at least five people in Florida and Georgia, according to Fox Weather.

A 66-year-old man was arrested on federal charges after making violent threats against Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and other public officials.

Law enforcement arrested Frank Lucio Carillo in Winchester, Virginia, after he reportedly made “numerous threats of violence” against the vice president, President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray on social media.

The FBI’s Phoenix Office was reportedly first notified of threats being made against Harris on social media platform GETTR in July. 

“Open political discourse is a cornerstone of our American experience. We can disagree. We can argue and we can debate. However, when those disagreements cross the line to threats of violence, law enforcement must step in,” U.S. Attorney Christopher R. Kavanaugh of the Western District of Virginia said in a press release.

Carillo, posting under the username “joemadarats1,” reportedly made 19 references to Harris on his page, according to the Western District of Virginia’s attorney’s office.

In one post shared by the attorney’s office, Cariilo wrote: “AR-15 LOCKED AND LOADED.”

During a raid on Carillo’s home, law enforcement seized a 9mm pistol, an AR-15 rifle and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

“The FBI’s mission is to protect the American people. We take all threats of violence seriously, and we will investigate them to the fullest and hold those responsible accountable,” Special Agent in Charge Stanley M. Meador of the FBI’s Richmond Division said.

Carillo made his first appearance in court on Monday.

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., announced on social media Tuesday that his phone was seized by the FBI last week – just one day after he won a Republican primary in the Volunteer State.

Ogles, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, shared a statement on X about the investigation, which reportedly involves campaign finance filings. Sources confirmed to Fox News that FBI agents executed a search warrant at his D.C. office last week.

“It has been widely reported for months that my campaign made mistakes in our initial financial filings,” the Tennessee politician said in his post. “We have worked diligently with attorneys and reporting experts to correct the errors and ensure compliance going forward.”

“Last Friday, the FBI took possession of my cell phone.”

Ogles added that he believes the phone seizure is related to the campaign filings, and vowed to cooperate with authorities.

“It is my understanding that they are investigating the same well-known facts surrounding these filings,” the Republican added. “I will of course fully cooperate with them, just as I have with the Federal Election Commission.”

“I am confident all involved will conclude that the reporting discrepancies were based on honest mistakes, and nothing more.”

Last Thursday, Ogles won a high-profile primary battle against Nashville Metro Council member Courtney Johnston. His supporters included former President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

“Andy is working hard to Grow the Economy, Stop Inflation, Secure our Southern Border, Uphold the Rule of Law, and Defend our Second Amendment,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in May. “I was proud to help Andy flip a Democrat seat in 2022, and he has my Complete and Total Endorsement for re-election. He will not let you down!”
