Two weeks after hurricane Ian slammed the coastal community of Fort Myers Beach, residents returned to witness the destruction firsthand. Survivors were shuttled by bus to see what was left of their homes. Thousands in the disaster zone are still without power, and there’s no running water in Fort Myers Beach.

Beach dwellings are great BUT you can never forget the force of nature. I Rented annually on Palmetto Place 4 years ago but I would never buy.
It should be a ghost town.
What a silly place to build. Utterly crazy.
Do not return. Do not rebuild.
Anyone who lost a wood frame home, building, will have issues rebuilding in Florida due to new building ordinances. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Consider rebuilding in another State. Insurance companies will be glad to discuss this option. 🤗
Barrier Island: "A barrier island is a constantly changing deposit of sand that forms parallel to the coast". And a little icing on this cake is the fact that 70% of Florida will be a sandbar at low tide by the end of this century. Most of Florida only has about 20 years or so left as far as habitability goes.
You cannot even call yourself a climate refugee because the classification does not exist thanks to the GOP banning the word climate change in Florida.
DESANTIS WAS NO WAY TO BE FOUND, NO HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS ANYWHERE, FLORIDIANS ARE ON THEIR OWN.
It's no surprise a wood structure home in Florida would be completely flattened by a hurricane, especially near the beach. Most of the cement ones are still standing in fair to good condition and are very much salvageable.
Have their been a dearh toll thats real
JUDGMENT IS WORLDWIDE.
THANK GOD FOR LIVES SPARED! ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO REPENT!
REPENTANCE IS OUR ONLY HOPE.
THERE IS NO VACCINE FOR SIN!
So sorry for everyone’s loss. Always saw it on cops and thought it was a cute town
Wooden houses in a hurricane prone area is brain used 100.
Some survivors, had on CONFEDERATE MEMORABILIA…
Hard pass on my tax dollars funding the KKK!
Good Time for Desantis Fundraising to give Financial Aid to Floridians in Need..They Need Cash not Praise
Mother nature vs the kkk 🤭
Florida- land of science illiterates and climate vaccine / denialists . Next on the Menu: American Human Habitat Loss, Managed Retreat, Planetary Hospice-
All these Republicans still don't think climate change cause hurricane…. all their lawmakers refused to fund FEMA after Ian… Let more hurricane wipe out Florida!
Names are out and the Looters are Illegal Aliens.
Why aren’t you talking about Iran? They’re being slaughtered in the streets! Their lives matter! This affects the global community! We are humans! Not just a herd of gullible workers
Get that insurance check.
💀💀deStunTis💀💀
Well I get to see what's left of my property tomorrow
You'd better hurry up and rebuild, before the next hurricane comes along in 4 years to destroy your home. Again.
Cruise ship’s can be use in Florida for displeased people
DESATANIS SCREWED UP AGAIN
God bless the covid and Ian victims
All the losers who want to live in 'Paradise', here is the other side. Sort out your own issues and leave the taxpayers out of it
Brutal I was there as it was happening filming it was so intense!!! Prayers 🙏
