Dancing away the hurricane

Osceola County Deputy James Froelich was stationed at a shelter during Hurricane Irma. He was charged with making sure everyone stayed safe and calm while the storm raged outside. 

He noticed a frail elderly woman sitting alone, looking worried. He approached and asked her what he could do to help her feel more comfortable. Her response: dance. So he took her hand and they danced. He even provided the music, singing Bobby Darin's Beyond the Sea while the two swayed. 

A fellow evacuee captured their dance on video. The shared dance and the smile it brought to the woman's face says it all.
