Hi Katie, it is very sad but there is something that nobody mentioned: houses in islands and close to the sea need to be build different, traditional foundation doesn't allow the water to go through, so the best way is on columns/piers 8' or 10' high
These are barrier islands. They were never meant to be built on. They keep filling in mangrove swamp, pumping up sand, and pouring cement slabs for tin cans that were never meant to withstand hurricanes. It messes with the wildlife habitat, the natural order of coastal lands so everyone there can have a nice view of the sunset. Until the proverbial s--- hits the fan like it did with Ian. And it will happen again. These barrier islands should be national seashore parks that everyone can enjoy. Not just the little slices of beach that are left for the rest of the population. You know, the places you can get an $18.00 cheeseburger and for an extra $6.50 you can get some fries too. Paradise!
What is the cost of rebuilding the bridge? Who pays for that? I understand Florida has no State tax. This is a battier island and this is not the last cat4-5 hurricane. If people rebuild they will need to pay the price.
De SAnties wasted money on sending illegals else were. Florida's money and their Politicians all voted AGAINST infrastructure bill. They stand alone in their mess.
Can you tell me where that scooter was. THATS WAS MINE and it washed away from 2265 W Gulf Drive… it would mean the world to get it back even though I know it’s not running…thank you to anyone who knows where it it and thank you to ABC for finding it. How crazy, our condo is gone, all of it, and yet there that bad ass Bintelli stands lol.
Christopher son I am so so sorry for your loss. I have people I love dearly who lost their entire home there in Sanibel due to Ian. Please know we support you and will help you the best we can. 🤗💙
Sanibel will "come back" when the settlers leave. How many punches does Mother Nature need to land before people get the message? I live in Fort Myers, BTW. Thirty years ago, Sanibel and Captiva were quiet and lovely with easily accessible beaches everywhere. Not so much in the last several years. They came, they saw, they built, they got blown away.
"Natural" will b the judge. Islands and deserts will b what they always were from the start. Everything on these islands and deserts r artificial (manmade). CA homes built on cliffs, now erosion under the homes ( sea level) is forcing homeowners to move. Who will purchase a home on packed sand/dirt and stones? I get they wanted the view.
Before the hurricane, island residents wanted to ban leaf blower use in lieu of rakes to reduce the noise. They are really considerate when it come to respecting nature. No worries. 😎
The best views, the best beaches are left only to the wealthiest people. Most average hard working Americans are lucky to be able to buy a mobile home in a park inland somewhere. Natives with old family homes get priced out by increasing property taxes. Very sad!

I'm so glad they evacuated. So many didn't heed the warnings and ignored the evacuation alert. I'm sorry for what they lost, but I;m happy they were smart enough to leave.
No one who takes a "total loss" payoff from government or insurance should be allowed to rebuild in these areas. The state needs to take it over and make it parkland, possibly with RV rental spots and so many more people can enjoy it yet it can be evacuated and recover from future storms much more easily.
@@naturelover2292 FEMA does in fact pay when insurance doesn't, but it's the state that determines whether to allow rebuilding in the area. They should not on barrier islands.
I totally agree with that many years ago I was on a vacation for one whole summer to Anna Maria Island which is next to Sanibel and it was wonderful it was gorgeous but I could see even as a young person how dangerous it could be in a hurricane
4’ elevation and 15’ storm surge don’t mix. Learn from that building that made it through the Mexico beach hurricane. 40’ piling’s with the house lifted 20’ above elevation.
I’ve been an emergency disaster relief responder since 2015. I was called to deploy to PR one day prior to Ian hitting Lee County. My Dad had serious surgery and I can’t leave him alone for 10 days. ANYONE needing help, elderly or disabled community members…hit me up. I’ll saw the hell out of any downed trees and clear debris. Please let me know if ANYONE is in need of a hand. All I ask is that you buy me a Gatorade lol.
Waste more of my tax dollars that we don't have on a bridge that will be wiped out in the next hurricane, they need to tax these people hard to recover our wasted tax money that is being spent on the few wealthy residents that live on a barrier island at sea level.
Oh yeah when will that be? 20 years? That’s about how many years since it’s been since Charley and the people that own vacation homes on these islands pay more in property taxes than most of the people in Florida. The majority of the homes start at a million. A person I know their house is $11.2 million. Probably should stop running your gator without knowing facts.
I said the same thing. People are unrealistic. Some places have hurricanes, some have tornadoes, some have fires, tsunamis, typhoons, etc etc. There is a downfall to living anywhere.
Mam it doesn’t matter how big or small ones hime is. It doesn’t matter if it cost 200,000 or millions. It was still those places to call home And made some many wonderful memories and I think at this particular time, it’s extremely in sensitive to make such a comment. I wish you wisdom and care. How would you feel if this happen to your home?
@@michaelpamelahogan6049 they had no business building there. Florida gets a lot of hurricanes and storm surges. That island sits at the most 4’ sea level. Use common sense.
💯 w eaponized but nobody wants to hear it…all who read this need to research c loud s eeding. Its real and they’re using it everywhere! The Bahamas was a huge tes ting ground for it 2 years ago. They damn near eliminated the entire island…ppl need to get past their naivety and realize what’s happening in these wicked days upon us✝️🙏🏻
About rebuilding you never know there was a house that was able to stand up in fort Myers that had very high beams and was not damaged that could be the template for houses to come to endure hurricanes I will not rule anything out about rebuilding it New York rebuilt after 9/11 so did Louisiana
Hi Katie, it is very sad but there is something that nobody mentioned: houses in islands and close to the sea need to be build different, traditional foundation doesn't allow the water to go through, so the best way is on columns/piers 8' or 10' high
that would be too sensible for the idiots that build houses in the middle of the sea
State needs to require different building codes for homes along beach. The home that made it through Mexico Beach hurricane was built right.
This should be a deserted barrier Island to protect the coast but I'm sure it will be rebuilt to be leveled again one day
Facts!💯
Florida has some greedy rich people that want buy and buy and make more money off it as much as they can

They live on a island, they can afford to relocate!
I wish people cared about the people in KENTUCKY

Yup..I never went back to Sanibel after they built that monstrosity of a hotel at the end blocking the entire beach...
I cried 😭

greed of people to want to poses part of mother nature and well this is the response, "Go away Get off Me!!".

Not an island it’s a key or overgrown sandbar they shouldn’t have built on it. It’s gone. It was pretty but it’s past.
These people knew the risks, they did it anyway. I equate it to smoking.
and none of them believe in global warming or FEMA!🤷♀
So I guess you could say the same for every single person living in tornado alley or an earthquake zone. How about people just don’t live anywhere?
US military on the battlefields in Florida) right! Fight at home...
Build a Structure similar to the American National Building in Galveston Texas! 1000 Hurricanes are no Match for that Impermeable Building!.
Prayers for everyone in Florida 💜

Thanks for being honest not sensational.
that's Tax deductible deductible for business owners.

@@philippians4410 we shouldn’t build near fault lines or states with tornadoes or states with wild fires…..
@@philippians4410 A lot of the people affected were NOT wealthy. All economic levels. Although I do agree we shouldn't build there.
@g h got it

Never going back.
