  • Today is the one year anniversary of Hurricane Ian. In this video, I show you videos of what I experienced as Hurricane Ian hit my home in Cape Coral, FL. I then travel down the streets of Cape Coral including the Yacht Club, Cape Harbor, and Tarpon Point Marina areas to show you the damage and destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Ian. My heart goes out to those affected by Hurricane Idalia.
    I hope residents in know what to expect and prepare for hurricanes.

All of the county is a flood zone, so we are thankful our property is still here but hurt for you all. We evacuated to Orlandoand, heard later, it was headed for us! Roofs were torn off, electric was out all night and part of the morning, restaurants were underwater and all those beautiful palm trees on the interstate were sheared off. New construction homes were leveled. I 4 was under water so we had to wait a day to go home. The amount of damage is more than I can put in to words.

The aftermath is the hardest to overcome, albeit the duration of a strong, relentless storm is horrifying.

    Thank you for sharing this! I also live in the Cape and our experience was almost identical to yours so I'm so glad that you documented this so well. It's all very surreal and it almost doesn't feel right going back to normal life while so many others can't. My family and I pray every night thanking God that we made it through and asking that He brings hope to those who lost so much!

    Ruby, what a sweet and calming voice you have. Thank you for your video. I was near Wiggins Pass in a condo during Ian. We are on the 1st floor and the Gulf came up 5 steps within 1” of our front door. We were very blessed to only lose two cars. There was such devastation only a quarter of a mile away. As you know, much of SW Florida is still recovering a year and a half later. I am glad you made it through and didn’t lose your home.

    Thank you for videotaping this. I live in Canada and have never seen a tropical storm although I have seen the after-effects of them on TV News. You did a great job of moving around the house, videotaping from all angles, starting from before the storm started. I couldn't believe watching people's roofs blow right off the houses! And the way the canal so quickly went over its banks - it's no wonder that tsunamis from the ocean are as huge as they are. It must be an insurance nightmare where you are - everyone waiting for tradespeople to repair roofs, homes, garages, electric teams to get all the posts and lines back up and running. If what the scientists say is true - that climate change is going to make these storms even bigger and more deadly, it's going to be really tragic in the future. I hope your damages weren't too extensive and I hope nobody was hurt.

They ended up moving further inland but a bit up north in the state because, they were tired of wasting money on flood damage and flood insurance since their house was on the water. So they moved last month and the area that they live in now got hit by Ian but….they never got flooded, and never lost power and there was no damage to the house….just small debris from the trees on the ground.

    Just Wow! Amazing footage. Thank you so much for documenting this storm and the damage it caused. I am sorry your home was damaged, but it looks like you were lucky the water did not enter your house! Again, just amazing!
