The US Coast Guard has rescued a man who was floating in a refrigerator in the Gulf of Mexico.

A helicopter crew carried out a rescue operation after his boat was carried out into the ocean.

A man's fishing boat has broken down off the coast of Madeira Beach, Florida, AP News reports.

Hours before Hurricane Milton hit, a man tried to repair a boat on the beach.

Rescuers found the man about 30 miles off the coast of Florida clinging to a refrigerator that was bobbing in the waves.
