I live north of Fort Myers and we had areas flattened. My family and I came through unhurt which was primary concern. I watch these rescue crews and I can’t put into words how grateful I am to these people. All the electric company people, the transport people, The list just goes on and on. I am so grateful for these folks.
I survived Camille and Katrina, I know exactly what it feels like to be alive in the middle of total devestation, Give all the Glory to God whose Great Spirit flows through the people that came to help 🙏🕊️❤️
I can't imagine the mental trauma that everyone is dealing with, but I know that Floridians are resilient and God will give you the strength. Where do they put all of the debris???.Just the change in topography is mind blowing, Prayers for the families of lost loved ones. Wish I could help, all I could do was donate some money to Red Cross, which wasn't much but I will send more each payday. Thoughts of comfort and love from a stranger.
I gotta say these clean up crews deserve a gd medal. They are tough as nails in their duties, soft as cotton in their caring. This is the best of America 🇺🇸!!!!
Great how our socialist services are there to serve us. Think of this the next time you pay taxes. Can you imagine what it would be like without government services? Keep thinking, yes thinking about that.
@@12pearls16 oh yeah cause its the big man who destroyed the place in the first place thats helping out drove past 3 destroyed churches on my way home from the flooded River right where the eye hit where was he then
I was in Fort Myers between June and July. My sister Malgorzata lives there. A beautiful village. Paradise on earth. Americans believe that you will rise. Poland was destroyed many times. two years. I wish you with all my heart strength and peace in rebuilding. You have a beautiful country of cool people. I have never met so many smiling people. Optimism beats from you. Take care of people and animals you will rise. After that you will come out even stronger!
It's really incredible watching all these amazing rescuers in the air and ground. Sometimes we forget that they are leaving their families and possibly losing a home as well. I hope they can receive good support too. The past few years have been truly turbulent for everyone. I hope they take care of their hearts and minds. I am grateful for folks like these. Sending my appreciation from the Midwest.
I am just heartbroken for all Floridians . My family and I considered Ft Myers Beach our second home. I am so sorry this has happened. Just know people in Indiana are praying for all of you. May god bless you and the people that are working so hard to clean up what Ian has done 😢❤🙏
I'm seeing this from San Diego and I'm overwhelmed and saddened with all the devastation , I'm asking myself where do you begin to put it all together , my heart and prayers go out to all the people that have been affected by this awful hurricane Ian. God bless you all.

The wrath of Mother Nature is something fierce and never underestimate it.What we have can take away in a blink of an eye. I have never seen such devastation in my life.Hope for a full rebuild and thanks for all of the rescue workers and people helping out.🇺🇸
It's a reminder that nothing here on this planet is permanent. We take so much for granted I am praying for all of my family and friends in Florida 🙏🙏🙏
All my thoughts and prayers are with you. I loved Fort Myers Beach. I have spent 20 winters in Ebbtide Park on San Carlos Island. I used to go to Parrot Key. I am worry about you all. I have moved back to Québec a few years ago. To you all, courage and my condolences to thoses who lost loved ones. R. Gendron
@@melissarose6447 your correct. There is so much hate and judgement that comes out of Florida. It’s very sad how they continue to judge. The patriots are being judged now by you know who.
This reminds me of the aftermath of Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle several years ago - total devastation, but somewhat miraculously, palm trees still standing amidst all the debris. And some of these tree would have been completely underwater in the storm surge, yet here they are, many of them looking totally normal and barely damaged.
This is very bad everything is flattened 😮 I lived in Kenneth city a small town near Saint Petersburg Florida we got lucky all the time. Praying for those who lost everything 😢
As they build back, I wonder if builders are going to prefer concrete walls, instead of wood and nails which just doesn't hold up in these kind of storms.
I live in south Florida. Florida hurricane codes are very strick. The wood building are older buildings before the stick hurricane codes went in to effect . Florida has some of the strictest codes in the US and it is because of the hurricanes but even cinder block buildings will come down during a hurricane nothing is stronger than Mother Nature unfortunately. I pray for everyone that was in the path of this horrible strom
@@consueloenlatierra6680 like I said in by above comment Cinder black homes can also be taken down by the wind and the water there's nothing that's built that is foolproof against Mother Nature unfortunately
You are correct. If you build your home on the coast in a hurricane zone, what exactly do you think is going to happen? There were many warning and people chose not to get out. This event was predicatable. It shows the American arrogance and intelligence.
@@bourbonstansell8823 yes to all, but those events have been much less frequent and devastating. Name an earthquake or fire that’s been as destructible as a hurricane in recent years in the US.
Monday evening Ian was located over Cuba as a category 1 hurricane. The spaghetti models that predicted the track of Ian was through Tallahassee. Tuesday eve Ian had just passed Cuba still a cat1 hurricane but with expected intensification. The spaghetti models shifted the storm track over Tampa at a cat 2 storm and predicted a cold front would break the hurricane down just before land fall. Wednesday Ian exploded overnight and made a sharp right turn toward ft. Myers as a high cat 4 and only about 80 miles off the coast. The storm had grew so large that if you considered leaving ft. Myers you could be stuck on I-75 in your car in a hurricane due to the many people evacuating the area. Do you take the chance of being flooded on the road or try to ride it out in your home? Neither choice is good. The storm caught many by surprise
I visited that area annually from 2003 until Covid hit, so sad all the devastation. I love Ft. Myers Beach, one of my favorites(and I live in Hollywood Beach). All the businesses and hotels, bars, restaurants gone. Terrible.
Wow! They shouldn’t allow anyone to have mobile homes near the water or on any island. That law should change, And only concrete structures are allowed. I don’t think it’s gonna make much of a difference either way, nobody should be allowed to live on any island or near any water way it should be all public property! It should be for short term camping only
We really appreciate your videos, they help with coming to terms with the significance of the damage. If you get a chance I am wondering about the little yellow cottage beside the diamond head. Its located or was located between the diamond head and the surfsong. Any video of that area would be much appreciated.
WHAT A TRAGEDY FOR SURE! MY HEARTS GO OUT TO EVERYONE..I live in Ct and was looking to move to Orange county or Lee county in the Spring..I am now rethinking this decission..MY QUESTTION>>>> how do you even clean up after something like this? Where does all the wood and furniture go? what about all the cement?? What is done with it? what do they do with all the boats? my mind is boggled! thank you and God Bless everyone including all the rescuers xo
Relocate instead of Rebuild may be a smarter plan. Clear it all out and just get out of Dodge so this never happens again. I know easier said than done but c'mon folks it's just gonna happen again. God speed to all going through this hardship.
Glad to see footage from Ft Meyers, but what about all the small out laying areas, are they getting any help, they r not getting tv footage for sure, they r suffering and need HELP ALSO
Didn't the same thing happen a few years back in a place called Mexico Beach? Did they rebuild? Curious what happens after devastation like this if people rebuild or move on, especially since it easily could happen again
Fort Myers beach and swfl beaches are way larger and more populated tho. From port charlotte to Naples the beach towns and cities were hit very hard extensive to catastrophic
Time to move inland and restore costal/tidal wetlands to protect our country from the increasingly severe and frequent storms that the taxpayer can no longer afford to rebuild after again and again.
Any word on waterway estates north ft myers canal homes very close to Caloosahatche Hoping for the best have not been able to contact folks thanks any info appreciated
Those are older buildings that were built before stick building code . I live in Florida and we have very stick building codes . What was built before these codes were put into place was not the tough buildings we have now . If you live near the coast there's nothing that will protect you from a storm surge people that live there know they take a huge chance living that close to the water I'm off of Floridian I will not live that close to the water. Even with strict building codes you lose your roof you lose everything and that's a huge concern during a storm with a hurricane with the winds as strong as these hurricanes are it could blow your roof right off so it doesn't matter what code you have 150 mph winds coming at your home it's highly dangerous no matter how it is built . I have been through so many hurricanes and it is one of the worst things to go through for humans and animals 💔 I thank God most people left and did not stay . We can't replace a life but we can rebuild and when we do it will be beautiful.
@@lisag711 yes, so many good points! I’m about 2 miles from the coast. This storm surge has me a bit concerned now. I’m in Boca Raton so there are not too many homes by the water. My family is new to Florida. We love it. I’m so sad for these folks. I am donating here and there to the fund the governor is sharing. They will rebuild. It will be magical again.
Florida never learns from hurricanes and storm surge, just like many seashore Atlantic coastal regions. We know storm surges can reach as high as 28 feet and do they Mandate all Living first floors in any building that must be at least 28’ above mean mid tide sea levels and 28 feet above Sea levels for rivers and tributaries. No, they do not. Insurance Companies should. But they still continue to build on barrier islands. They all think the USA is made of money. One of the Worst Cat 5 Storms that hit Florida was the 1935 Labor day Florida Keys Hurricane, Winds 185mph 892 Mb of Barometric Pressure. So, huge storms are nothing new, Man just refuses to learn and gain wisdoms.
@3:06 storm surge height. Having been through three major hurricanes in mississippi I know this well. See how the first floor above the pilings(space under the house) is also gutted but the second floor is not. Difference between wind and wind driven surge damage.

It never matters how much work is being done, one can always find cops standing in a circle shooting the bull. Not saying they’re not working, but the go-to during any break in the action is to kibitz.
sad part- they will rebuild with sticks again-- instead of monolithic domes of concrete--- building codes must learn the story of the 3 little pigs, THE WOLF IS NOT PLAYING. unfortunately govt regs wont learn, insurance and everything goes up, while the few line their pockets at the expense of millions of poor people.. NOTE- THEM HOMESTEADERS USUALLY BUILD BETTER THAN CODE
I have been seeing disasters and fallen buildings and palm trees and showers for a long time On the one hand this climate every day and these storms and so on citizens can't stand this weather and heat anymore
Omg this is really sad to see or Nation suffering like that! God bless America and keep Florida safe ! Please reach out to red cross and donate what ever you can to help our people from Florida! 🙏
Can someone please get footage or give a link of 7300 Estero Boulevard????? B agh and tennis club. For some reason there is no footage from there to Big Carlos
Where do they put all the refuse? I am sure much of this stuff is going to make recycling company's wealthy but I'm afraid it's going to take years to get through all of it. My mind is spinning just looking at all that damage.

sad part- they will rebuild with sticks again-- instead of monolithic domes of concrete--- building codes must learn the story of the 3 little pigs, THE WOLF IS NOT PLAYING. unfortunately govt regs wont learn, insurance and everything goes up, while the few line their pockets at the expense of millions of poor people.. NOTE- THEM HOMESTEADERS USUALLY BUILD BETTER THAN CODE
How many hurricanes is needed for a serious thought on building code and storm resilient construction technology .
Climate changes have different plans.
So sad😭😭😭🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Continued prayers for Florida and S.Carolina.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Prayers don't seem to be helping Humans address Climate Change.
Does anyone know if the FMBCH Elementary School survived? There was an historic old school building there. Ditto the Edison/Ford homes in Fort Myers?
I have been seeing disasters and fallen buildings and palm trees and showers for a long time On the one hand this climate every day and these storms and so on citizens can't stand this weather and heat anymore
Oh those houses were up on pilings but they were still washed away
It’s sad.. but people who live in Florida take this chance and know what could happen

@@Former_Pastor thank you. There seems to be a limit on how far south folks can go by land, air and sea.
Where do they put all the refuse? I am sure much of this stuff is going to make recycling company's wealthy but I'm afraid it's going to take years to get through all of it. My mind is spinning just looking at all that damage.
What "recycling centers"?
There’s a to. Of debris. Where does it all go?
