    Around two hundred homes in one neighborhood southwest of Fort Meyers along Summerlin Road are flooded. Residents were going back and salvaging what they could. One resident tells me the water mark was way up her walls and there is now thick mud everywhere. She has lost everything and doesn’t even know where she’s going next. Included several sots after video and name and spelling at end of vid.

    I am 65 years old I have lived in Florida my whole life my first hurricane was Donna in the '60s I was 7 years old since then I've been in several more including Ian. When I was a child you could drive down the coastline and see the beach for miles and miles now I drive down the coastline I can't even see the water because we have overbuilt like there would never be a tragedy we've sold people a false dream. Florida's beautiful and yes it's tropical and yes it has hurricanes and yes if you build on the coastline this is what happens wake up and be a realistic person stop building a block from the water

      It was absolutely the worst day and night of my life. We will never stay again. The hurricane was headed to Tampa then to Sarasota which is about an hour north of me and then to Venice and then fort Myers. I heard that at 2pm the day before the hurricane. At that point in time pretty much only option is a shelter and with 5 pets really hard to do.
      Thank God my area was spared the surge! House is good for the most part. Roof is a yr old so it's good. We're watching shingles fly all around. A solar panel hit my house. Winds were well over 100 miles per hour. We were in extreme wind warnings from 1245 pm until 840 pm. Scariest day of my life. I will never stay again.

      I lived in Broward County for over 30 years. I was there when Wilma hit us dead on. My friend and I got really lucky. I was living in a mobile home, so I stayed at my friend's house in Coral Springs. I was looking out her bedroom window, which overlooked a field of trees. One tree uprooted and fell on the next. Then there was the domino effect, as ALL the trees uprooted.
      The next morning when we got the all clear, I went outside and looked at the parking lot. 13 cars in a row had their back windshields smashed in. Not a scratch on Arlene's car. I went inside and woke her up. "Arlene, nothing but God just saved your car." She looked around and said, "Sharon, where's your car?" I pointed further down, but we couldn't see it. We walked down to my car. A huge 30 foot oak tree uprooted and landed between my car and another car. All the branches were behind my car, touching the tires, so I was trapped. But at least my car wasn't smashed.
      Back at my mobile home park. My neighbor's tree fell on top of his trailer. Down the road three trailers flipped upside down and landed in the canal.
      I had a broken window and lost all the skirting. The manager of my park replaced it for free. Arlene's dad fixed my window for me.
      My mom used to live in Everglade Lakes mobile home park, but she moved six months earlier. Tornados went through, destroying 4000 trailers. My mom's friend and neighbors trailer was destroyed. They had evacuated, but they returned to find a pile of debris. Her friend's husband literally had a heart attack on the spot and was rushed to the hospital.

    Living in a tin can in the tropics is like living with a ticking time bomb in your house, it's just a matter of time until nature blows it away and or floods it. Living up off the ground near the coast is a must if you don't want everything to get wet some day and building a house the proper way, CBS, with concrete and hipped roofs with concrete tiles will prevent the need for expensive repairs, losses or even buying insurance every year. Build, rent of buy a solid structure as your insurance, or roll the dice like so many chose to do. It is a choice. From drone videos, you can easily see which structures were built for the tropics and which ones were "temporary" structures. Same story every storm.

    My town, Bay St Louis, Mississippi had over 32feet of surge from Katrina. Debris piles were 40 feet high. Our tiny county lost 260 plus. They all stayed in their homes to stop looters. There was no home left to loot. Or owners....some bodies have never been found.
    We rebuilt BUT...most middle class and working families could NOT afford to rebuild with a new building code (actually our county adopted Miami-Dade, most strict hurricane code), extremely high wind insurance, flood insurance, regular insurance, prop taxes, insurance companies fighting its customers to this day (17 years). I see miles of mobile homes in SW FL raised 4 or 5 feet. They won't allow those anymore, I guarantee. I am so sorry to see the flood levels there. I will light candles tonight to help light your way.
    PS I would not walk in too much water without protection, especially children or immunocompromised folks. Sewage, chemicals, gas, toxic bacteria and othr coliforms are in that.
    Peace.

      @@drc3po Do you know how many people are literally in the potential zones of hurricanes? It’s literally millions. Where do you expect them to move and build? People live in the Midwest where there are tornadoes. Floods can occurs almost anywhere. Fires and earthquakes in the west. These storms can affect places like New York City. I guess they shouldn’t live there either. That’s why we pay exorbitant deductibles in these areas. Not to mention, it’s not the exact same place year after year. Some people go decades without a storm like this. It’s unfortunate when it happens, but that’s why we all pay insurance premiums.

I had met an accident in Houston, Texas in which hearsts runaway 18-wheeler flew over d road to hit my car injuring me severely. . America then sent 4 kkk to brutalise, terrorise and made 9 attempts to kill me secretly. They also jailed me arbitrarily and then framed 3 false charges to lock me up again. This was why God was very angry with the USA. USA fulfilled d prophecy of Obadiah to break d eternal covenant of brotherly love made with God thru d shed blood of Jesus Christ. D covenant requires d blood of Ephraim (USA & western nations of d cross) to be shed. It's d nature of blood covenant. My experience indicates that America is a very dirty , merciless and unjust nation. They refused to correct d injustices since 1989 and my life was totally ruined since 1989. I am wondering why Americans refused to heed Micah 6:8. Americans don't seem to trust in God. Is it just words and not from their hearts when they mentioned God?

It should be a law in Florida....if they live in a trailer they should either make them evacuate or the government should pay to put these trailers up higher incase of floods. I know the wind can damage them too, but if they could keep the water out... they just might have a chance of saving their homes. God bless them. I've been praying for them the most.
