  1. That's not even footage of the causeway — This shows the highway on the mainland leading up to the causeway. Damage on the causeway is much worse.

  2. there goes my vacation, was leaving for sanibel in 4 weeks

  3. Criminal Trump said that there was no Climate change, what you think now Florida Republicans?

  4. the only way to survive the future is to live in R.V.s or houseboats. Both you can dodge a storm with.

  5. Guess that is about 50 miles from the beach is why it's such unreal news oh the power

  6. That’s what you get for living near the beach 🏖

  7. It will take over a year to completely rebuild

  8. That's what they get for charging a toll road!! Now they will never stop charging you!!

  9. Rath of god?? Find out, kidnap more immigrants and ship them north as a "joke"… The poor shall inherit the earth…

  10. Florida, Puerto Rico feels your pain!

  11. Mark my words. The press will make Biden the hero of the aftermath cleanup and DeSantis will be the villian for not doing enough.

  12. In the 1980’s We Environmentalists fought to save the Everglades. Greedy land developers didn’t care, nor did the clueless masses who moved in. Why should my federal taxes fund this?! This is the ROOT of Climate Change, hyper hypocritical… And NO it’s not too soon to discuss this, 40 years of warnings!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. Wow! Fallout Miami is looking great! really impressed

  14. "Where's that confounded bridge 🤦‍♀. This will change all building ⛏codes

  15. Engineering that was doomed from the start. Get used to using a ferry for a while.

  16. Prayers to all poor and rich angels all around

  17. so sad to see a place i grew up holidaying reduced to rubble hope the island survived.

  18. Well at least its a toll road. They have money to rebuild it right?……right?

  19. There was a lady who said she lived on Sanibel and was not leaving. I don't think she survived this. They're not showing anything on those islands 😱

  20. yea well you lay asphalt on sand what do you expect?

  21. Stop building along the coast. It's only going to get worse.

  22. 📌A foolish man builds his own on sand.🙂

  23. Looks like they will be increasing tolls 🤣😂🤣

  24. And De Santis misused federal funds to move legal immigrants to Martha's vineyard. He could have used that money to feed hungry and desperate Floridians. Sure they need three money right about now.

  25. Me hoop de boidys ok..keap dem Bebes wth saffety in the woodys wid metteles..Bebes hungree..feds de bebes

  26. God must really hate Florida.

  27. Florida is state that don't pay tax, who gives a F***, let me guess we tax paying American are gonna get used again and again, they need state of emergency for what.

  28. Why does one pave sand?
    Even in the Mojave desert we don't just pave sand without a decent structural road bed.
    Is that construction even legal?

  29. Lets see how the governor handles this 😂.

  30. Nature will reclaim what we have stolen, one way or another.

  31. Makes it obvious, why it shouldn’t be there in the first place.

  32. Nature has a very clear way of showing humans where NOT to build.

  33. Wow, the water just peeled the highway right off , almost looks like a nuke hit the place….
