As Florida homeowners deal with structural and property damage from Hurricane Debby, some of its residents may want to check their supply, as 70 pounds of cocaine have washed ashore in the Florida Keys, according to reports
According Raw story the surprising find happened last Monday, August 5, after the Category 1 hurricane hit the Sunshine State with rain and strong winds – and apparently opened someone's storage material somewhere and released 25 tightly wrapped nose packs into the ocean, which eventually led to the to wash up on a beach.
Interestingly enough, the person who found the packages notified the authorities instead of rounding them up and becoming the new plug on the block. He obviously didn't care about this life at all. We would have at least sent a cable to Rick Ross or something, apparently. This is sarcasm.
US Border Patrol Acting Patrol Chief Agent Samuel Briggs II confirmed the wild find in X.

The drug shipment, which Briggs said was worth more than $1 million, was discovered by a good Samaritan who contacted authorities.
In July 2023, the mayor of Tampa, Florida similarly discovered 70 pounds (31.7 kg) of cocaine washed ashore in the Florida Keys while enjoying a vacation day.
In addition to transporting cocaine, Debby has killed one person, knocked out hundreds of thousands of people and can cause life-threatening storms as well as devastating flooding.
A million dollars worth of cocaine. One could have carried it for half and been set for life. I am just saying'.
With news of this incredible find, don't be surprised to see a bunch of people in SUVs parked near beaches for “no reason” the next time another hurricane hits Florida. It could be a life-changing moment for someone.
