Isolated by the collapse of the Sanibel Causeway, our cameras got onto the ground in Captiva Island for a first look at the damage there. Large homes that appear to have survived, on closer inspection you see the large extent of damage suffered on lower levels.
When my late wife was fighting breast cancer, we would break out the credit card and spend a few days at South Seas Plantation. This paradise gave us a break and helped get our mind off things for awhile. It is so sad to see the devastation! I will praying for everyone that was in the path of the storm. I am currently living on the Space Coast of Florida and did not suffer any damage. I know in time we can restore the beauty of Captiva and Sanibel Island!
@Melinda Calder Thank you, Melinda!!!
❤️ Thank you LSM for sharing storm chaser videos.
Wow! I lived in Florida 19 years. I learned early to leave, and to head away from the HUGE STORM.......to make a decision to protect my family and to just GO!
Many are on hard times now and could not afford to "go." Go where? How do they pay? Food is triple, gas, electricity....peoples cushion for an emergency is dried up.
To a shelter inland or a family member or friends
@@reneecrenshaw7567 And an 85 yr old couple who do not know how to locate a shelter area? Not tech savvy. Family members all way up North? Friends all got wiped out also. You have to remember also that this storm was not suppose to hit this area. It changed at the last minute. Many had a false sense of security. My parents left. Got a hotel room for two days. That flooded. The third night they slept in their van (not a conversion van) Cold, wet and hungry. They left in a hurry so they didn't pack any food. Mom has heart problems, dad needs kidney dialysis every other day. Truthfully, I don't know how that works if shelters are in place BEFORE a hurricane hits? If so I am unaware of that.

I lived there 17 years also. I left n sold my house in Venice fl after irma hit. I'm so glad i did. I loved fl and miss it but do not miss those storms. I just am so sad for all those people its horrible.
when i was a boy in the early sixty's, we would drive down each summer to visit grandparents in Englewood. we would drive out to Sanibel and Captive islands and spend the day. just a sandy road down the middle with picnic tables scattered around. great shelling and swimming. this storm must have hit at high tide to produce such a storm surge.
It was a very powerful Cat 4,almost a 5.
High tide has very little bearing on storm surge at that point.
Offshore waves 30-40 feet.
Basically,on shore ,becomes open Gulf Of Mexico.
Those barrier islands are buffer zones,NOT human habitation zones.
But,they will keep building,same results each time.....
The predicted tide at For Myers was about 1.5 feet. The measured depth was 8.57 feet. And that was several miles inland with no waves!
@@jrkorman Most people don't understand surge.
Inland becomes open ocean.Theres nowhere to go.
people forget this was a bird sanctuary
Oh no how awful
I think the birds were smart enough to get the hell out of there long before the hurricane hit.
My cousin saw mass migration of birds and wildlife up through central Florida. If people had any common sense they wouldn’t build in these areas. Our family has lived in Florida since the 1780s, first 25 on water front,rest in Central Florida. You learn.

Multi million dollar homes built on a sandbar 🤔
All the poor millionaires
I'm from Naples and always loved Captiva it's like going to a Caribbean Island !! When I was young we used to go surfing 🌊 up in Captiva ,, When SwFla does get surf it's always biggest In Captiva ,,, God 🙏 Bless Captiva n all those effected by Ian ,, Hard to believe it has been 1 week today!!
Captiva island is the most adorable beach I’ve ever seen, with all those conches…
Wow I'm so sorry for your lost! My mouth is wide open watching this.....🥺😲

At 2:49...amazing those strings of lights are still strung from the trees
I still say, it would come back sooner than many will imagine.
Who are you? God ? Or , perhaps , a tree hugger!😉
@@Corleone_Napoleone это русский бог
Nobody knows but there are no guarantees that it won't come back.
It will come back because it is waterfront and people care. Hurricane waterfront always rebuilds as people want to be on the water
And,get the same result next hurricane 🌀
My friend that works for FEMA arrived there last night. I'd say he'll be staying for months. They have SO much work to do to even begin to clean up.
The national guard will be needed
@@jefferyepstein9210 there's a lot of people that need jobs now. Hopefully they get the chance to apply!
@@luv2luv720 where are they going to apply for a job, everything is gone or destroyed. It’s going to take months to reopen
@@luv2luv720 There is actually a shortage of employees. The boomers are the largest generation to retire. There is a shortage of youth.
Where does one begin? No Car, no home now and everything buried in sand its unbelievable.
The owners of these homes have $$$$$$$$$
Stop worrying about them.
Find the video "Hurricane Andrew -- As it Happened" issued 1992, same year of the storm. It is utterly compelling. The boots on the ground were like no other then and since. It is on purpose. Media consolidation has resulted in a mockingbird press where these two hours were straight from WSVN, the local NBC Miami affiliate at the time, were not only tracking the storm with NOAA/NHC's Bob Sheets who was as genuine as genuine could be as was Brian Norcross, fired from this station for doing all the right things for the people of So. Florida broadcasting non-stop over the then analog airwaves where one could use a battery operated TV to see, predict, prepare. GW Bush saw to the end of analog into hideous digital that, compared to analog infrastructure, remains a dismal failure IMHO.
So heart wrenching to watch. This will take a long time to recover and rebuild.
New Orleans Still isn't done!
Don’t worry, the “decent” one in DC will fix it all up in no time. 😂😂😂
Maybe ask children to redesign new housing. They might whip up some new ideas
Paul Martin, based on the amount of damage I'm guessing a decade and the tree line just won't look the same. My wife and I went to the Keys in 2019 and you could clearly see where the hurricane in 2014 took all the greenery off the mangroves in certain sections. It looked like winter time in the north.
Thank you for showing. Terrible!
Wouldn't you think the state would mandate all construction in FL to be built with concrete?
They have new standard with the new construction.
New requirements were put into effect following Andrew. However, it is not known whether these strict standards were made state law. One can have all the best materials but since most contractors use foreign, unskilled labor (Fl. is a right-to-work state meaning cheapness wins the day) and inspectors have their palms greased as does the Florida legislature infamous for their graft regarding the decades of shady developments sold at top dollar where problems are spotted from day one and getting said contractor or developer to make good -- welcome to the real estate racket called Florida. One of the best references on corruption in Florida politics was written by Miami Herald columnist and author Carl Hiaasen when the Herald was owned by Knight Ridder, the only paper to expose GW Bush's claims Iraq had WMD were utterly false. Soon the paper was bought out and now it's more mockingbird press.
@@billkarmetsky4003 Thanks so much for the interesting, informative post!
It's definitely strange how success somehow drives people to the water. Everyone wants to live waterfront, it's always the most valuable real estate.
Old Floridians do not. They deem those building on the beaches to be idiots. Unless they are rich enough to take a loss of a house. Or rich enough to pay exorbitant insurance rates.
Most are from other countries. My sister lived on Sanibel (low income housing) and waitresed so the international land grabbers could be waited on) These multi million dollar homes are VACATION homes. I'm sick of the media only showing the multi million dollar boats and homes. Lets show the modular resorts.
@@andy99ish I didn't think about how much more insurance is!
@@pamelaremme38 I was surprised to learn how many foreigners have boats parked & houses along the coast!
@@pamelaremme38 yes Pamela MANY Americans also own time shares in condos in Florida and ❤️ LOVE to go to the beach every summer for vacations, tourists generate a lot of revenue $ income for Florida. ... and of course that means a LOT of minimum wage employers & employees and LOW INCOME housing. Americans love to surf, water ski, jet ski, parasail, sail boat, speed boat, snorkel & all kinds of fishing there. So of course there are businesses and infrastructure to support the HUGE tourism industry. Sad that the poor people working there will have the most financial difficulty through it all. 😔
Lots of cars and trucks destined for Copart and Craigslist.
Some states you can get a clean title also!
Would love to see South Seas beach villas Beach cottages if you get around to it at any time. Thank you for doing this
The storm surge barrier wall totally failed and saving money by using the small sound sand bars as miniature islands for the roadway major mistakes.
They must remove all the submerged asphalt, exposed asphalt and rebuild a new elevated causeway bridge system the entire length from FT Meyers Beach to Sanibel Island.
The massive environmental cleanup is going to take years, the local shrimp and other fishing industry in the area destroyed for years as the water and land are deeply contaminated with oil, tar, diesel, fiber glass, asbestos, lead, pesticides, gasoline, glass, metal, PCBs, chemicals, latex, plastics, etc.
Building a house on a barrier island in hurricane country is gambling.
@Colleen Buckley They do. Folks who cannot, should not build houses even close to the sea in hurricane country.
They have to know their flood-risk would go up.just by moving on a coast-line. So why keep building on a coast-line?
Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting, different results. You know what that's called.
What you don't understand these people love it in Florida just like nc in sc it's their home just like where you live would you let someone tell you you have to move not me I love nc in that's why I'm moving back what happen to Florida it made these people stronger in know that the lord has their back it's faith in we all need it yes it will take time for Florida in whoever else got hit this is what America is about to stand together in help others
@Byrons Reward lol.
Sane reason Japanese build in Japan and Californians in California.
Tras de ladrón, bufón.
@@kevindoran4938 are you that poor this has nothing to do with it these people lost everything in business or did you forget oh wait your not in Florida you got a roof over your head a vehicle these people lost everything you need to stop thinking of your self in think other people
This is listed on Airbnb, a beautiful home.
I had no idea there were that many houses on Captiva. Maybe some of this footage is Sanibel??
I grew up in that surrounding area. Sad!
Question? How are the Tesla's electric plugins doing? Should of made a small furnace for coal.
For back up!
Stay safe!
Good point!
The same people driving Teslas are the ones with solar panels on the roofs. They need to go back to where they came from.
Destrucción total increible!
Wow that’s a beautiful home
Which one
Pretty impressive structure integrity considering. If this was the 40s those buildings made of wood, would have been all flattened!
Wow it brought the beach to you
I dont know about you, but it sure looks like most of the structures built with wind and water in mind did very well,, sure there is lots of sand, but the buildings are still standing and mostly intact,
I also noticed how well the Solar Panels held up,, Looks remarkably good to me
Excess and waste.
Just such a fukin nightmare this storm was! I reside in St. Pete and prepared for this to hit us. BLESSED is the only thing I can say we were. My heart goes out to those impacted!!
Same here
Gosh. I've been in Florida my entire life in stucco over concrete block and Dade Co. pine. Inexpensive, too. No A/C because Florida wasn't paved over quite yet. When Nixon destroyed the gold standard, all Hell broke loose. The governors were put in place to protect the real estate developers who cut corners at every chance, developing in areas that should never have been including here and every beach community along the entire coast east and west. It's not the native Floridians who are backwoods. It's the transplants running away from situations they chose to do nothing about, overpaying for unresearched, shoddily built, bloated, all the bells and whistles dog pile that smart people know is just an accident waiting to happen. Too many people in this state, period. They're too dumb and greedy soon to be totally replaced with foreigners yarmulke wearing DeSantis is working overtime to ensure here in the new surveillance state of Florida.
** NOT FOR BROADCAST ** yet it's up on youtube.
What would one of those homes cost when they purchased them?
$3.5 million is my guess on Captiva Island
@@flgirl250 Good guess. I was at South Seas two weeks ago. There is a little real estate office at the north end next to the pizza place. They have a chalkboard outside with the current price and availability. A home was listed for $3.55 million with no description or location given. There was a "developable plot" of land listed for $15 million and condos available from $550K. We stay in a friend's timeshare and bring our own food, so I didn't see the need to go inside. The white house shown here is one of the largest in that row of houses between the timeshares and the golf course condos at lands' end.
Everyone knows that this is going to happen. Why do they do it? Why do they still build on the beach in a hurricane-prone area?
That's like saying why do they keep building in the areas prone to earthquakes why keep building in places prone to tornadoes.
@@40169th yep...or all the places that get repeated wildfires
@@40169th not even close. The millionaires can afford to rebuild but everyone's insurance goes up. It's irresponsible and selfish.
@@rachelmareywinn as someone that was affected by the hurricane I can assure you that I'm far from a millionaire.
Build in high ground.
What were these people thinking, they should have moved all their vehicles and boats to a safe zone, all this damage could have been avoided...heed all warnings, get the hellout when told
Ánimo y adelante 🙏🏻❗️
that's why we live in the Netherlands behind the dunes and not on the beach
Truth: If you can’t protect it, you will lose it.
Ooh my god 😱😱😱
Beautiful place before the hurricane, I’m sure with the cost of those homes on Captiva people have good insurance. Still don’t understand why wooden homes in such a place exist…but hey.
Many insurance companies now refuse to insure such homes on the waterfront. Florida has been in the midst of an insurance crisis.
Of course they have excellent insurance.. All about the 💰💰💰💰 why u think the good old insurance company welcome them. For the rich community only. Pay good insurance! get triple insurance money on your top Beach front water home. All a business 🤔🤭
Better have good insurance if you do you won't get it all back but you at least you'll get something something is better than nothing maybe you can move in with the homeless for now with the rest of us
Reports have said few people have flood insurance. Many that have insurance is inadequate.
Fema is the only flood ins available in flood/hurricane zones . It's 52$ a month . Lowest in the USA . Why wouldn't you just pay the 52 a month , if your home is in a high risk zone ?
Florida is in the midst of an insurance crisis because many insurance companies will not insure homes in such a high-rise area. Those that do will charge exorbitant premiums.
Cheap prices inbound....then build a concrete geodesic dome home with ballistic glass and 15 feet of the ground....last a lifetime.
💔💔💔
I'd buy those houses and move there tomorrow.

Down to just 1 home up north
It’s SO difficult
Yep it is held captive...
By Ian..
Certainly shows the looters just where to loot.
And how are the looters going to carry away their loot and to where?
😇🙏💜
I hate to see these multi million dollar homes in such bad shape . I hope the owners get to come down to their winter home before Feb .
What will these islands do in future given the prediction that these hurricanes will grow worse and more frequent? It is obvious that the wealthy can and will rebuild but what about the less fortunate islanders who are the support staff and helpers who cannot afford the consistent predicted onslaught of future storms and their rising costs/risks?
What do you base storms are going to get worse the word of lying Marxist revolutionaries who want to be in total control of everyone’s lives quit living in fear that’s what evil uses for control
Who told you hurricanes would get more frequent and stronger? This year was the quietest year yet for storms... the issue is this is an area that is prone to flooding and was on the bad side of the hurricane. The storm surge is what caused all this. The wind was violent and bad, but most concrete houses can withstand it no problem - if built properly. The water is what does the most damage and is most life threatening.
@@SerPurple51 Predictions of a changing climate from climate scientists indicate that the storms will grow worse in future and that the coastline will shrink due to the effects of permanent sea level rise and higher rising tides. This is already true for numerous island areas worldwide. I am guessing that insurance costs and rebuilding costs will increase, as well. I am not contradicting your detailed appraisal of the worst specific causes of the current Florida coastal damage. You don’t state that you are anti climate change - although plenty of people are: you could simply be saying “same old same old; different wind, different storm approach”.🤷♀️
Check out the video: Angels Don't Play This HAARP. You will be shocked!!!
@@sharonhearne5014 Climate "scientists" That is laughable! I double dare you to watch the video I recommended. After watching it....you will dig deeper!
Basically anything under 10 feet tall was a total loss. No exceptions.
Looks affordable now.
Some of the jealous comments on at this time are disgusting seems a lot of people like living in government fear too all who have suffered lost I wish you all the best no matter your income level or the color of your skin now is not a time to divide now is a time to unite my prayers for all
Tell that to Biden. HE Called half of this country “fascists” just few weeks back.
This is harsh, but remember, everyone knows Hurricanes blow in on Coastlines. These big expensive properties have Insurance. They will rebuild. Theist important thing is to evacuate when there is even a small chance of Hurricane.
Man this is terrible. I hope ppl had insurance. If not this is going to lead to a lot of displaced people.
They had plenty of insurance. Everyone living there is a multi millionaire
What a mess.
Oh, The Rich Really Suffered!
This is a very serious hit that will take a long time to recover....
It will never recover. The new financial system won't cover these people's losses and I guarantee most were without proper insurance. Because they're dummies who move to Florida going into hock beyond their eyeballs for "the Florida lifestyle" of this stuff. Real Floridians don't live near the beaches or have decades of experience with the waterways and know what to do well ahead of time. They aren't weighed down with giant pool homes in BS developments that should never exist in the first place. It's all gonna wash away to the sea. And not one word from Greta on this kind of environmental damage -- this massive waste washing out into the Gulf causing serious pollution. No. Kill us, eh, Greta? Don't go after the scams your benefactors run called the Florida real estate racket(s) where overpriced McMansions are built on sand where the banks are the real owners and racketeers to begin with. Carl Hiaasen many books and newspaper articles were scathing on the real estate rackets and small time, petty politicos and their tyrannical governments like City of Miami, Miami Springs and such. Same on the West Coast. Nothing's changed.
I'm surprised fb allowed your comment. They like to censor truth...
Surprising low to ground level construction wrong for Gulf Coast coastal areas.
Hurricane Katrina pales in comparison to Hurricane Ian.
I pray we don't have the deaths Katrina had! They also haven't finished rebuilding from Katrina!

Those house stood up pretty well. This is a very wealthy Island and I'm sure they will get the first and the best recovery. They fared much better than Ft. Myers beach and Sanibel.
No they won't get assistance from gov because they have really great insurance! Rich can afford to rebuild faster because NO federal gov red tape assistance!!
Can you imagine the insurance pay outs? Insurance companies will go bankrupt
hope you had permission to go inside properties… one sheriff mentioned mischievous folks would be carried out..
YES they have permission! Go watch all the videos and you'll hear them talk about it!
4:04 Against all odds the Mucky Duck is standing (confirmed via satellite imagery).
The Mucky Duck was completely buried in the sand by Charley in 2004. They dug it out, cleaned it up and it was fine. Much of Captiva and the other islands were trashed. South Seas resort was closed for almost two years.
I was born in Miami in the early 50's and lived in Florida until 2014. When my career ended, I could not afford to stay, so I moved North. We vacation in Florida once or twice a year during the off seasons when prices are lower. We spent a week in a time share condo in South Seas (beginning and end of video) right before Ian hit. Most of those fancy homes on the north end are indeed rentals, daily, weekly and some can be rented monthly in the off season. Most of the staff that we talked to in the resort and restaurants on Sanibel and Captiva cannot afford to live there. They take a group shuttle bus from Ft. Meyers every day to work adding up to 2 unpaid hours to their workday.
You must hurt those saying the more you have the more you lose so this is why poor people don't have nothing because they don't want to lose it
Thanks for that enlightenment.
Do these owners know you are in their house? This home is listed on Air BNB and is a beautiful home. $3,000.00 nightly.
Yes he has permission! Thank you so much for caring.
That's really what you got out of the video? 🙄
Just curious if you need permission to go on island during filming. Thanks,.
Floridians come back strong and hard
I hope Biden tells DeSantis to stuff it.
@@radiocameron you mean have his handlers tell him to speak, which his two brain cells would probably say something like "The sand is stuff, is."
@@radiocameron maybe I’m crazy but I don’t think Floridians need or want biden.
Even still, God Bless America 🇺🇸
@@radiocameron Hope DeSantis tells Biden to get lost. Wait, he already is lost.
lol look at all those solar panels ruined, solar and electric vehicles, such a great idea...
What’s wrong with solar ?
Yeah? What didn't get ruined?
That storm has created 1000s of jobs, to bad DeSantis sent everyone north

Prehaps it's time to tiptoe through nature, and, not try so hard to tame it.
Город восстановлению не подлежит.
This will end up being a land-grab for wealthy developers, when people can't rebuild because of money, they'll sell to developers.
do not rebuild next storm will be soon leave
A lot of rich people live there they probably left my friend husband and kids I haven’t heard from them
Prayers for your friend & their family. Hope they are safe & sound. 🙏🏼💛

American cardboard house, American need to build better houses.
The building codes have improved significantly. My father lives in a manufactured home in Englewood. His park was 80% destroyed. But his home is newer than most and survived with minimal damage. Even his carport is standing. There was a time when NO mobile home would survive.
@@vjhreeves any of these homes are well built but incurred extensive damage to the first floor but are still standing.
All the ones with solar panels on the roof do not belong here. Go back to your previous states of residence and keep voting the way you did.

Sorry about home's
i'm sorry, but i can't have any smpathy for you folks, did you not have enough sense to know, that one day this would happen? i mean if you build in a flood zone, or as this was a hurricane zone, that this would happen eventually??? us folk's in tornado alley are just liabal for our well being by the luck of the draw if it lands on us. living in a flood plane of a beach coast is not if it will happen, it's when will it happen...
