I've lived on boats for about 15 yrs of my life, Hawaii, Georgia, and Key West, ain't no damn way I would ever ride out a hurricane on a boat. We always went to shore, local hotel or got the hell out of dodge. (Pride be damned) Glad to hear these folks made it thru.. Ian buzzed us here in Key West, relatively untouched in perspective. God Bless all these people. Absolutely devastating.
I have lived on a boat as well and I agree. Its the last place you want to be in a hurricane even a small one. You are better off in your car in a parking garage on a second level.
My grandmother in 1939 woke up with water half way up on her bed as a child 1 block from the highest point in Key West. That year was the last time that complete island sank. On Olivia St. Two blocks East of Duval. 3 Blocks from Hemingway's house. You folks will be fine.
What do you expect when you build a community on a beach. It shouldn't be rebuilt. It should be returned back to nature as an barrier island or at most a public park.
Been a fort Myers resident for over 2 years now, pure devastation. House is still standing thankfully, but water was at least 5 feet high inside. Not sure what to do now
Rita was very smart for evacuating. The other ones that lived, riding out a cat 4 hurricane on a boat was extremely lucky to even be alive. They should buy a lottery ticket.. I'm betting they don't make that mistake again. Material things can all be replaced. Loved ones are irreplaceable.
For the ones that stayed there on their boats in my opinion they didn't have enough money to take off before the storm hit it doesn't make any sense to me as to why they would stay there
@Anaja S Actually, no. If you look at the long-term data, Hurricanes have not become stronger or more frequent. We just put more people and buildings in the places where these things happen.
We are two years almost to the week out from a direct hit Cat 4 named Laura and a Cat 3 named Delta in SW Louisiana. We lost almost everything. We are not rebuilt yet. Good luck in Florida, building material prices are in the stratosphere and still not readily available, not to mention the lack of skilled workers, and plenty of shyster contractors that will try to take advantage of you, along with wrestling with the Insurance companies. Good luck and God Bless.
So sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. One of my best friends heads to these storm ravaged communities like yours to start with the tarping (I call him the blue tarp mafia) of roofs. I assure you he's the most honest worker you'd ever find but he was taken advantage of by some of those shysters too. So it's not just you victims being victimized. Now he's headed south to do it all over again (thankfully he lives in the FL Panhandle so he's not that far from home) and just praying he doesn't get taken advantage of, he's too kind hearted and deeply hoping to help folks!! Prayers with y'all as well as FL and my friend!!
This was the worst. I didn't think it would be. But Ian made me read my words. I'm so horribly sad for the beach and all the residents but so many every where have lost so much. I've lived here almost my whole life and this just breaks my heart
I don't live in Florida (I am from California, but live in Texas). I only have ever been in one hurricane which occurred while visiting Florida years ago and that was incredibly awful to wake up and see trees on top of cars, and buildings. But THIS, this is just catastrophic. There is one thing I noticed about Florida residents, you will do what you can to help each other out in times like this. This is overwhelming to see on screen, I cannot imagine what it looks like in person.🥺 Sending prayers for them all.×🙏🏾
Your whole life? All 18 years of it?. People that choose to live on barrier islands make a choice. Every year you roll the dice. finally it came up snake eyes.
And it’s even more sad how these things always seem to hit poor people and not rich communities who could afford to rebuild themselves. I certainly do not wish this on anyone but just seeing that it’s even more tragic when it hits those who are most defenseless. The Town was friendly, cute, quaint, and delightful. Seeing it destroyed is really sad.
Umm. They’re reporting from Fort Meyers Beach. Check the Zillow listings. There’s nothing on the whole island for less than $600k, and most of the property is $1million or more. Yes, they probably found the one trailer park still in existence for maximum emotional effect, but this storm hit rich and poor alike, and the beachfront mostly belongs to the wealthy. Of course, no matter what happens, the poor will suffer the most. They always do. So try your best not to be poor. And help your neighbor if you can.
@@sc100ott it would be ALOT easier " to try our best not to be poor" if inflation wasn't at a 40 year high... A gallon of milk costs more than a gallon of gas... People are having to make choices like whether to drive or eat... It would also be ALOT better if the US was producing its own oil.. instead of buying it from Venezuela and other countries..
I truly feel for the folks there...but honestly our beaches/islands etc should be visited not lived on!!! This is traumatic enough can you just imagine what will happen to the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area when it's their turn for a direct hit?!? I lived in Ft. Lauderdale in the mid 80's and have only seen in pictures what it's evolved into. Why do folks continue to build those big shiny buildings right on the water down there?!?!? God be with everyone affected!!
Well, it turns out that people really like to live where the weather is warm, and people really like to live near the water, stroll on the beach, swim in the ocean, and be where the action is. Yes, there’s a risk of hurricane, but most places are insured, and there’s usually a couple of days of advanced warning to get out of the way. So you might lose a few things. Or, there might not be another big storm for 25 years or more. That’s why people chose to live there. They don’t have to worry about earthquakes, or blizzards, or wildfires, or volcanic eruptions. Plus, they can wear shorts and flip flops all year long.
@@sc100ott hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha your irreverent attitude toward Mother Nature will do you no favors 😂😂😂😂😂

As an immigrant: you are the typical Trump supporter who is still looking for slave laborers ... Your dream will never come true ... God bless the poor people of Florida.
I'd like to feel sorry for these people, but seeing how Florida has been wiped out by hurricanes every year since the dawn of time. If you choose to buy a house there.. Well.....that's like holding a lighter to your hand and screaming cause it burns.
4 months before Ian hit, condo owners in Fort Myers Beach unleashed a pack of separate lawsuits trying to stop the 'Low-light Turtle Law' which for some years has required all lights on the beach to be fitted with yellow/amber lenses for the benefit of baby sea turtles emerging from their nests. When sea turtles are born, they instinctively run toward the light. Historically, the land was dark and the ocean was light from the reflections of the moon and stars. With the condos and hotels bars and businesses all lighting up the beach, baby turtles have been running to the highway. The yellow and amber lenses helped the turtles. So do not feel sorry for these nasty selfish inconsiderate people of Fort Myers Beach. Thank Ian instead that the turtles may yet live.
Things will be re-built as they always have been... Florida always bounces back... can't say the same for other states... but Florida always bounces back.. No need to lose hope..
They bounce back because millions of taxpayers are bearing the burden. You live by the ocean and this is the consequence. Florida needs to cover the cost of this.
If you own a beach property and you can't afford to lose it, then you should sell it to someone who can afford to lose it and move inland. I have to roll my eyes at the distraught people "who lost everything" from a hurricane. It's like watching someone take their life savings to a casino and then crying when they lose it. What did you expect would happen? Hurricanes are a fact of life in these areas.
And if you live in California, you get earthquakes and fires. Tornados for the Midwest. Blizzards in the North, and on and on. Every place on the planet is subject to some particular hazard. Earth is a very active planet.
Terry great point, living along the Bech front is risky business, you'll never know when the storm will hit, even if I could afford to live on the beach I would decline, I'd rather live inland, I'm broke to live at the beach front, heart hurts for those who lost everything.
@@davis4555 Plenty of people in tornado valley who haven't had a tornado hit their town. If you live on the coast of Florida you WILL be hit by a hurricane. There is no if.
what i don't get is why the people owning boats didn't just move their boats out of the hurricane's way until it passed? It would not just put their boat, but also their own lives out of harm's way.
Everyone is in shock. This will take years to turnaround. Put it in perspective, Katrina was how long ago? (Someone help me out) Parts of New Orleans never came back. This here is total devastation. Sad.
Are you serious. The people who chose this life. Need to decide what they really value. It's crazy to invest your money in a place that can kill you or wipe out everything you ever had. So why keep living in a place like that? It's crazy
I live 15 miles inland I didn't chose a lifestyle it found me I worked a job for 13 years next to the river. To get a call call to say we been wiped out is really awful. When you learn the word empathy than maybe you will post a intelligent coment.
Wow rich people lost their boats? 😱 this is devastating! Maybe you travel to Africa and see how kids have less than $1 per day to survive, this will give you some hope!
Maybe if the fund were actually for disaster relief and not just a way to pass out tax payer money to friends of the politicians, it would have gotten more votes. Do you even ask yourself why someone might have voted against it? It's unbelievably stupid to believe that anyone didn't want people in a storm's path to get help from the federal government. You don't actually believe that do you?
Nothing should be rebuilt unless it's capable of surviving a massive hurricane. Otherwise it's a waste of money. And why the HELL didn't those idiots with expensive boats not take them out of harm's way? So stupid.
Did that man just say he ended up inside his boat on the top of the restaurant? Wow
