  • Ahoy, Salty Sam's Marina on Fort Myers Beach was devastated by Hurricane Ian. This video shows immediately after the storm on the docks, and then one week later. Our teams are making tremendous progress. If you love this marina and want to help with the rebuilding process here's the link for our gofundme page. Thank you so much! gofund.me/2ed93d25

    I was there in May on vacation rented a boat as well . Seeing this it’s unrecognizable! I hope insurance is going to cover most of the damage .

    Look for a lot of “lightly used” boats on eBay.

    I'll tell you how a lot of Floridians do it, they just live around the mess. You drive around the boats in the streets and the downed palm trees.

    It just blows my flippin mind...Thes people have 100,000...300,000, even million dollar yachts, and they are destroyed! WHY don't they take their boats somewhere else until AFTER the storm?

      The storm was 300 miles wide. Boats move at between 8 and 25 mph at cruise. Most boat owners also have property on land that also needed preparation for the storm. You do what you can and make sure you have good insurance.

      I have been a Merchant Mariner for 40 years, sometimes there is just nowhere to go...
      A hurricane is a moving target, you really only have about a 3 day window for a good forecast.
      Most of these boats do not have the range to move out of harms way.
      A boat is a nicety not a necessity.... most people were getting the heck out of the area..
      I have friends in the Naples area who had over 10 feet of storm surge and I spent all of last week helping them clean out their house, they lost everything....
      Fort Myers Beach will never be the same...

      Not as easy as it sounds, even if you somehow manage to lift it onto the hard, it will still be exposed with a surge like what was experienced.

      They had about a two hour warning the hurricane had changed directions and would hit them directly and that it would be a high cat 4 instead of the low cat 4 they had been told they would only se the edges of.

      These boat owners should hire stupid people like Kyle Scribner to take their boat out into the Gulf of Mexico with 30' seas to move the boats for them.

    It doesn't seem like the original swampland of South Florida should have ever been developed, then over-developed. It has had many great years of tropical living, fishing, yachting. Time to pull out. Climate turmoil will eventually make it impossible to rebuild over and over.

    • @redademe

      Absolutely, I bet insurance companies will be proactive and jack up their rates for anyone desiring to insure in those areas. Time to hand it over to mother nature and set up a national park before rising sea levels take over for good.

    • @johnwagner2049
      @johnwagner2049 Рік тому +1

      Other than the tropical part the same could be said of NYC. Currently the only reason the city doesn't flood is the water being pumped out, if sea levels rise the pumps will not be enough.

    It’s really pretty simple. Stay out of hurricane zones during hurricane season. Insurance companies should refuse to insure ANY boat that stays. Don’t allow marina construction in hurricane zones. No insurance for houses or buildings in hurricane zones. Tax payers all across the US have to pay for this stupidity, over and over. Insanity.

      Stay out of hurricane zone during hurricane season? The entire Gulf coast is a hurricane zone. You are a 100% total moran.

      Florida residents pay more in Federal Flood insurance premiums than receive in claims over the last 10 years. Other states - Louisana. New York. New Jersey. etc receive far more payments than premiums paid. The risk is properly calculated in ins costs.

      Should car owners not be allowed to leave their neighborhood since theres so many car crashes? Robert is a moran.

    Thanks, Ian!!! Way to go cleaning up FL.! FL always looked like the badlands after nukes were used.. You made it look better. Please come again with Storm's family members soon. People who live in an active hurricane storm zone year after year need no federal help but once every 10 years. But as losers want to live there need to pay 35% plus on just personal insurance to cover a personal moron choice for themselves, coverage to feel better if losses come.. Why do other states need to cover these personal choices to live in the storm eye from offshore?
