AFTER IAN: Still no insurance money for Bonita condos forced to spend upfront

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - It may look like paradise on Little Hickory Island, but for the residents of Dolphin Way of Hickory Point condominium complex the last year-and-a-half have been a disaster.
The damage from Hurricane Ian was so severe, the residents couldn’t fully move back in until January of this year.
“We had probably 10 to 12 feet of water here. Everything here was underwater,” said Jim Boehme, who bought his condo with his wife in 2020.
