You are doing everyone a tremendous community service, flying over and posting captions by street, for those of us not familiar with that community, as well as residents. Excellent work!
Hey Claudia, I appreciate your comment. I know there is limited media coverage about North Port so I to make sure people who either live there or have 2nd homes knows what is going on in the area.
Your welcome. I figured it would help for people to get a perspective of the general area if they know nearby streets. If people want individual streets they can reach out to me on Instagram DM & for a small charge we will go out there to look at it.
We have always been prepared for hurricane season and try to be prepared if it actually hits our area. Lived here since 1986 and have seen some stuff! Our house is shown in this video, and I was surprised when you said this was day 5 after Ian. The water was still so high! We were forced to get flood insurance a few years ago, and we were definitely not happy about it. We've seen North Port flood before. A flood in the early 1990's came up to our front door, but never higher than that. Brand new roof and hurricane windows were put in our home for wind, but never, never even thought that water would be the thing that got us. I'm thankful that the mortgage company and FEMA made changes and that we have flood insurance. But, unless your home was right on the canal, you weren't forced into the insurance. So many people in our neighborhood are relying on their own savings, and help from generous people. We are at 4 months post Ian and we are still finding flood water inside some of our stuff. And we were quick to get started cleaning up and cleaning out the house. It's been very emotionally taxing. Although we did want to downsize, it's not fun throwing your stuff away instead of choosing what to get rid of. This neighborhood is still very much so on the mend, and we will get it done. Eventually. We're almost to the fun part, getting all the new stuff! But having to make the decisions on what you want to buy to replace what you lost, while you're still finding things that you have to throw away, I don't recommend it. All this being said, my husband and I LOVE North Port and we have zero desire to move away. Far enough away from the Gulf so we're not "touristy" but close enough that if we wanted to, we could spend the day at the beach. But, also, we're Floridians, we don't go to the beach. LOL Thank you for the video. I appreciate you filming and posting it. P.S. Sending love, thoughts and prayers to every single person affected by Ian!
Have seen many videos of areas suffering the worst destruction; this is the first extended video I've seen of large, flooded areas with most homes still standing. Had no idea what those areas looked like now. Thx for posting. Sarasota, here; we were lucky. Minimal damage, just a massive amount of debris now piled at the road. As to flood insurance: though we don't live in a flood zone, we've always carried flood insurance, anyway. We also recently bought a home in the mountains of western N.C. Not at the top of a mountain, but close. Even so, we went with flood insurance for that property, too. The sense of financial security is worth the cost.
I appreciate the comment John. Crazy to see how our local communities just south of us got affected. This hurricane is definitely making people rethink about buying flood insurance
I live in North Port and was lucky the street we lived on, there was no flooding. Just wind damages to the roof. FPL and other lineman have been awesome getting us back up with electric and help is everywhere you look. Thanks
I live in north port. We had over 150 mile an hour winds for 10 hours straight Non-Stop. We were landlocked for over a week cuz of flooding was so bad.😢
Ty i really appreciate these fly over type shots. The swfl news just keeps regurgitating the recovery efforts. Which im of course concerned about but i needed to see north port, venice, punta gorda, port charlotte first hand.
I've asked a few channels this and I have no reply really. I used to live on Cristobal Ave. Behind Abbe's off Tamiami. I have friends in the neighborhood and haven't talked to them. Could you tell me how that neighborhood fared?
Interesting video. Living in nyc and was thinking of retiring to NP next year. I liked the lazy river village community. Wondering how it is now. Can you find out any info. Thanks
Yeah, I drove past that area a couple days ago. The houses next to the water got a little flooding but the houses not on the water just got some wind damage
Nice drone footage. Our drone got drowned in the garage flood waters, lol. We had about 12 or 13 inches in the garage, we were 1 of 2 houses on the block that didn't have storm surge in the house, for which I sincerely thank God. We live at 41 and Cranberry and kayaked back and forth to the RaceTrac for a week before the waters went down. It was an amazingly terrifying experience. Thank you for your vid.
Glad you enjoyed the video & glad you are safe! Sounds like a pretty scary event to go through and couldn’t imagine having to get around in a kayak for a week.
I was there on Sunday. It’s a lot better. There was one of the first streets had some water towards the end of it, but other than that, all the streets off of biscayne/Granada looked pretty good and were accessible
Same here .. rode it out at my home in SE North Port. Scared the daylights out of me. I thought for sure I was going to lose my home during the back eyewall. It did about 1000 dollars damage to my truck, ripped off some flashing, header board, and shingles from my roof, and toppled a number of trees on and adjacent to our property. It's the most insane thing I've ever experienced.
I've not found many people wanting to leave North Port. I think the response has been tremendous. I'm very proud of our State's leadership and how they organized so much instant help. I was told by a survivor of Hurricane Katrina that Florida acted faster than their state did.
Ian hit September 28th, 2022. We were still coming off the Covid highs at that time so what we have seen is home prices level off back into normal range either the median home price about $375,000 in North Port

Charley in 2004. That was a very tight hurricane and was powerful. Ian was several times larger and is being known as the the strongest hurricane next to Charley
Charley could have fit in the eye of Ian. You can not compare the two. Ian was bigger and stronger than Charley. Ian was the strongest hurricane to hit the US to date.
To be honest, My house held up beautifully for a cat 4 almost 5 hurricane. My shed flew and my Garden house. It was a scary experience and decided next time to evacuate before the next hurricane comes. I am missing shingles. And holes in roof.
Also my cousins the Morgan’s live in NP 50 years. They are very active in the community and getting things done. The Morgan center is named after them and many other events.
Thanks for your footage....I wish, being in Canada, there would be a very detailed footage of Holiday Park. Heard serious damage....we were very worried for days! Now know ours o.k. but many neighbours with damage...hard to be happy when others so bad.....couldn't we have an aerial over entire park? Have place over 30 yrs..but last 4 yrs not able to come..due to illness & death. Even hard time to get someone to do outside garden.Thank you again!
I live right near Holiday Park and go by it every day. I have video of it right after the storm but I’m not sure how to share it. I have noticed some people are already rebuilding in there and that’s very good! ❤ Btw, I have lived in NP for over 40 years
Live on W. Price close to Biscayne had some flooding crossing the roadways but not high enough to come in the homes in the area. My house is at 21' elevation about 3' higher than flowing water. I walked the neighborhood and cleared the debris that blocked culverts and was restricting water flow. Water level dropped about 5 - 6 inches in a few hours because it had a clear place to flow
Old Army buddy of mine is surviving in the Talbot Street area. No power but his home, that he’s lived in since 1960, didn’t take much damage and only had some minor water damage. He’s a great source of information about North Port…he worked for the city Public Works for decades and was even a police officer for awhile. Since he has no power, he has no internet but if you message me I’ll see if he can/wants assist you in knowing more about North Port’s past. He loves to talk about his hometown.
@@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida I’ll pass your number on to him. I’ve been associated with North Port/Englewood since 1978, but have nowhere near the knowledge of the area that he has.
hmmm ??? I was in the middle of selling my home out of state and moving there buying a house (heard good things about North Port ... safe.schools.quite) but now with a Cat 4 I'm not sure. This video is helping to see the Ian out come on North Port. Does anyone have power yet?
Yeah, some areas of North Port have power back as of today. The good news, if anything good came from this, is that we now know which areas are susceptible to the damage. There are parts of north port that faired very well…I had to check on all of the lots my investors purchased for us to build on to ensure they are good areas so we had mapped it all out
The problem is these storms are unpredictable. If we had gotten the storm surge they got in Ft Myers then it would be a totally different outcome for NP. One thing I have learned from all the hurricanes over the years here is that each storm is different and exactly where it makes landfall, the size, the intensity, etc, decides a lot of the outcome for any specific area. There really is no way to know how an area will fare with future storms.
How high was the canal that goes across 41 at the Econo Lodge. That is the first place I ever saw a manatee after eating lunch down the street. I'm am a little curious how my old house fared though. I know the buyer invested a decent amount into it.
@@michaelbrunelli6837 it is considered a flood zone but not a flood zone that needs insurance. When people hear “flood zone” they associate it flooding often. The highest flood zone is X and has a 500 year history of water
No place has a 500 year history of water “Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones A1-A30, Zone AE, Zone A99, Zone AR, Zone AR/AE, Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X (shaded) are also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded)” A “500 year “ floodplain actually has a .2 percent chance of flooding each year. People in these areas can get flood insurance much cheaper than those in the Special Hazard Flood Areas.
Thank you so much for this can you check 2 more locations for me 1762 S Chamberlain bid and not too far from there is 2036 landau ave off of Normandale Boulevard in Northport family in this area with no power to talk to anyone worried about my 3 nieces
My Birthday is September 28th & North Port is my hometown. Not a great birthday present. Been in central Florida since 98 but am moving back soon & for the 1st time ever all of the sudden elevation is my number 1 thing to consider when I buy eventually.
At least North Port had been bouncing back from the hurricane and now is on a strong growth trajectory. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them
First off awesome video! I live off of Salford and we had minimal flooding on our street. Though our neighboring streets were buried in water every way. I do feel that NP was not at fault in this situation. Mother nature dropping 15-20 inches of rain in a few hours... I'd say a 100 year flood. It flooded the highway.
Appreciate that Tracy and glad you found the video helpful! This was most definitely a historic flood and we will hopefully not see it again in our lifetimes
If you can afford flood insurance you should get it even in an area without flooding. Why? It covers your pipes backing up/breaking and water/sewer sludge flowing into your house. I’ve known several people this has happened to over the years. Either get flood insurance or self insure.
I would agree. This hurricane opened up a lot of eyes for people who didn’t have flood insurance before but now they are going to buy it, even though they do not live in a mandatory flood zone
Good to hear the good talk from kids who know, your florida average rainfall would flood much of los angeles every year. We get 16 inches, in 1982 got 34 came in 2 " of flooding my lot, so know 34 plus too much for us
I’m so sorry to hear that 😔 Sadly, that is not a rare occurrence for this hurricane. Many others who didn’t think they need flood insurance had their houses flood
I live on mongite, house 4498 for 14 years so far. During the storm, i watched dem waters flood under my doors and actually break my window like a dam flood gate, water wind'n shit just rishing right through! The water came straight up to our hips, my shed was even sent fly'n three houses down and across the street! It stoped cuz it hit a light pole, hung right up there like a flag and after all the flooding went down, we had to gut our house from all the mold tryna grow everywhere in the drywall, out shit, the insulation, lost our plumb'n our toilets, cabinets, beds, our whole front lawns turned brown from all the shit stuck to the grass! Both cars dam busted from being flooded. And in the way out right after the storm ended we trudged through sraightup waist-deep to neck-neep swamp water, coouldnt see a dam thing, just kept walk'n and hoped we wouldnt steap on noth'n! Truely a sureal experience i never thought i'd live through and ive been down here my whole life! Ive been throug every hurricane 'n nado to hit this place, hell it took 'boutta week ago just to get the dam wifi back as well. Crazy shit i'll tell ya. All ya'll better take care out there! Its a rough one but we can bounce back, were floridians!
Sure ain't the same North Port Charlotte that General Development paved back in the 50's. I remember kids that lived in North Port went to school at Venice Jr. and Sr. High. Only about 8 to 10 kids rode the bus to get to school. I was one of them. Wasn't a soul that lived down there.
Tampa Opened their Water Lockes just before Ian Landfall thinking they were going to be hit, instead it ADDED to the water table that Flooded Inland Lands.
Actually, I-75 runs east to west through North Port then continues north from Venice. So yeah, the Estates are on the North side. I was a bit confused when I moved here 20 years ago. You got your N Biscayne and S Biscayne. N Cranberry and S Cranberry, as an example. Then there's Price Blvd, you got W Price and E Price divided by Toledo Blade. If, say, you take Toledo Blade past I-75, which is heading North, and head east on Tropicare, you're in the Estates. Incidentally @Living in Sarasota Florida- Noah Ward, I live on Longbow Ave. I checked the Sarasota Flood Zone map for North Port a day before Ian and was dishearten to find out I lived in a flood zone. When Charley hit, it wasn't considered a flood zone. The neighborhood did receive flooding, but luckily only in the streets. We're right below Bobcat Trail on Toledo. My friend lives off of S Salford and his house did get a foot of water in the house. Total loss.
Sarasota here, the biggest reason NP flooded was #1 we had daily rain for a good week ahead of Ian , which made the rivers already cresting and ground saturated, then along comes Ian that dumped a nother good 19" + of rain and caused a surge that pushed more water into those water ways. Most can shelter from the high winds but it was water that caused the most distruction. I live near the airport in Sarasota , we saw wind of about 125 mph , our airport even sustained some damage from the high winds, my home is 3/4 of a mile from Sarasota Bay, home was built in 1972 , we had no damage other then our PVC fence in back of yard was blown down and lots of plant debre .We feel very fortunate that not only did we not have any damage to home but Sarasota did not get the surge that FT Myers got. Please don't forget all those poor people in Arcadia that had extreme flooding even worse then NP , the Peace River overflowed along with Myakka river , Arcadia's flooding was so bad , you barely could see the roofs of homes .
Luckily in my area in North Port we didn’t experience any flooding. But it was really close. The flooding on the road was higher than our mailboxes, and looked like a river rapids outside our house. We were built just high enough so that it didn’t reach us. It’s a good thing, cause we don’t have flood insurance.
FEMA is NOT going to give flood insurance benefits to those who don't have policies. End of discussion. What MAY happen is that banks may start requiring flood insurance before granting a mortgage.
In many of these shots you can see that the water is moving, some of it moving very quickly, and that's a good thing. Stagnant water after a major storm is a nightmare. If the water is going somewhere, then it will eventually drop in level. I'm originally from Punta Gorda, no one seems to be going there so I don't know what's going on. But my brother emailed to say that the power is finally back on.
All great observations. Most of this water is flowing but there are many other areas where it is stagnant unfortunately. Hoping the water recedes in 1-2 weeks.
My house as well as mothers house took serious damage. My mother was N Fort whereas I lived in Cape. I am still without power and limited water. I’m so looking forward to a hot shower and a home cooked hot meal.
Again 20 inches of rain in a few hours has nowhere to go but up. Some houses were, built higher. Almost 2 years later we are still here. Bridges were washed out. Rebuilt to hopefully withstand another long lasting rain maker and hurricane!
City engineers are so intelligent . Being sarcastic. North Port was nothing hardly there 25-30 years ago. I don't think they ever anticipated a hurricane coming through. City workers are only interested in filling their pockets with money they are not concerned about the people and problems. That's every city is shitty. In Clearwater their building a billion dollar pedestrian bridge so 3 people a year can cross us 19 to the other side?????? Can you do a story about that? It's not a billion but pretty sure in the high millions.
Not sure where you were but I was literally driving around less than 24 hours after Ian hit. Don't you see that shopping area in the background next to US-41?
We got nearly 20 inches of rain in about 8 hours would any city in the US fair as well as we did prolly not. We got hit really hard even tho they just keep showing Sanibel and fort Myers.
North Port resident here. A lot of flooding had to do with engineering issues with the culverts passing under Price Blvd. Not designed to handle that kind of water. Previously planned expansion to the road is supposed to address this issue.
Hello Tyler. Thanks for your comment. Did the houses on both side of Cocoplum canal in North Port get flooded? We’re planning to buy a lot on this canal. We love North port.
@@cindynguyen6103 the streets along the cocoplum waterway got flooded in some areas. It is a pretty lengthy canal so not all flooding was equal. Pretty sure the houses did ok but access to some was quite difficult.
@@tylerread1068 We appreciate your feedback very much, Mr. Tyler Read. We’re looking at some lots at around S. Raintree and Serris Dr. Do you remember this area was flooded during the Ian hurricane? Did the canal water level rise so substantially that it can cause flood? Hope everyone in North Port is recovering well! ❤️
🤦North Port is swamp land 🤦 that's why flooding happens. But it's common sense and if you live in Florida anywhere 😂 get flood insurance. You don't need someone to tell you to get that 🤦 People need to have common sense.
I get it when people don’t want to leave. A lot if don’t have resources $ to evacuate - That should be program to offer . The money spent search rescue efforts for cost more if that would be option. Not being critical - Florida is always ripe for Hurricanes just like CA with mudslides earthquakes - This disaster will cost all of us across USA insurance rates will rise.
If you look at my channel you will see most of it is promoting North Port. I would appreciate it if you didn't make these comments without even taking a closer look
look at a map of Florida..what do you see? a bunch of lakes and sinkholes which become lakes...obviously Florida is sinking into the Gulf..I would not invest in any real-estate thats located in Florida
Look at Alaska or Minnesota that has the most bodies of water out of any state…what’s your point 😂 Just because there’s water means nothing. For you saying florida will “flood” let’s explore the elevation of the east coast. Most the east coast islands & coastline will be underwater at the same rate…but yet you don’t mention that…isn’t that funny 🤔 It’s best to know your facts
@@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida its probably because i live in florida genuis REALLY don't give two funkywinkles about some place I would never live...like I said..genuis
@@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida well move to Alaska Noah...build an Ark..you might have too if you plan on staying in SRQ AKA "SCARYSOTA" LOL 😂 whatever floats your boat > 🛥
You got to do a story about Clearwater's billion dollar pedestrian bridge so 5 people a year can walk to the other side of us 19 to go to hess gas station if they don't like 7-11. Lol . What a waste of money.
😂On what fucking planet was Ft Myers the center? They caught the dirty side. We took the hit, and then the core spun on us for 5+ hours. Get your shit straight.👏

Us too. Had water coming in the ceiling after shingles blew off, but nothing structurally wrong. We feel very blessed.

It’s a dark brown because of the soil color leeches into the water and it is silty

Also my cousins the Morgan’s live in NP 50 years. They are very active in the community and getting things done.
The Morgan center is named after them and many other events.
Very cool!
Thanks for your footage....I wish, being in Canada, there would be a very detailed footage of Holiday Park. Heard serious damage....we were very worried for days!
Now know ours o.k. but many neighbours with damage...hard to be happy when others so bad.....couldn't we have an aerial over entire park? Have place over 30 yrs..but last 4 yrs not able to come..due to illness & death. Even hard time to get someone to do outside garden.Thank you again!
I live right near Holiday Park and go by it every day. I have video of it right after the storm but I’m not sure how to share it. I have noticed some people are already rebuilding in there and that’s very good! ❤ Btw, I have lived in NP for over 40 years
Grew up there. All the spots you mentioned have always flood when hurricanes come through.. or a lot of heavy rain.
I dont see people leaving Florida. If they do by the millions, I will come back, lol.. till then, I don't think so.
Live on W. Price close to Biscayne had some flooding crossing the roadways but not high enough to come in the homes in the area. My house is at 21' elevation about 3' higher than flowing water. I walked the neighborhood and cleared the debris that blocked culverts and was restricting water flow. Water level dropped about 5 - 6 inches in a few hours because it had a clear place to flow
That is a great solution. Thanks to you!
Old Army buddy of mine is surviving in the Talbot Street area. No power but his home, that he’s lived in since 1960, didn’t take much damage and only had some minor water damage.
He’s a great source of information about North Port…he worked for the city Public Works for decades and was even a police officer for awhile.
Since he has no power, he has no internet but if you message me I’ll see if he can/wants assist you in knowing more about North Port’s past. He loves to talk about his hometown.
I’d actually love to chat with him about North Port some more. You can text me at 715-531-8021
@@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida I’ll pass your number on to him. I’ve been associated with North Port/Englewood since 1978, but have nowhere near the knowledge of the area that he has.

We came home to Harbor Isles off 41, 2 days later there was now water in our neighborhood. We had wind that blew away rooms , like ours.
hmmm ??? I was in the middle of selling my home out of state and moving there buying a house (heard good things about North Port ... safe.schools.quite) but now with a Cat 4 I'm not sure. This video is helping to see the Ian out come on North Port. Does anyone have power yet?
Yeah, some areas of North Port have power back as of today. The good news, if anything good came from this, is that we now know which areas are susceptible to the damage. There are parts of north port that faired very well…I had to check on all of the lots my investors purchased for us to build on to ensure they are good areas so we had mapped it all out
The problem is these storms are unpredictable. If we had gotten the storm surge they got in Ft Myers then it would be a totally different outcome for NP. One thing I have learned from all the hurricanes over the years here is that each storm is different and exactly where it makes landfall, the size, the intensity, etc, decides a lot of the outcome for any specific area. There really is no way to know how an area will fare with future storms.
How high was the canal that goes across 41 at the Econo Lodge. That is the first place I ever saw a manatee after eating lunch down the street. I'm am a little curious how my old house fared though. I know the buyer invested a decent amount into it.
I live in a flood zone x area, but I opted to get flood insurance anyways.
Very smart call. This hurricane I know is going to make a lot of people think about buying flood insurance even though they are not in a flood zone
Flood zone X is a flood zone, although it is a low risk zone.
@@michaelbrunelli6837 it is considered a flood zone but not a flood zone that needs insurance. When people hear “flood zone” they associate it flooding often. The highest flood zone is X and has a 500 year history of water
No place has a 500 year history of water
“Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones A1-A30, Zone AE, Zone A99, Zone AR, Zone AR/AE, Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X (shaded) are also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded)”
A “500 year “ floodplain actually has a .2 percent chance of flooding each year. People in these areas can get flood insurance much cheaper than those in the Special Hazard Flood Areas.
how much is flood insurance yearly on an average home?
Have to relocate no doubt in my mind
Thank you so much for this can you check 2 more locations for me 1762 S Chamberlain bid and not too far from there is 2036 landau ave off of Normandale Boulevard in Northport family in this area with no power to talk to anyone worried about my 3 nieces
How do we find our loved ones to know if they are alive
Why is the water so black looking?
It is a dark brown because the waters are overflowing from the rivers that are very silty
Comes from the woods and ground naturally in most slow rivers
My Birthday is September 28th & North Port is my hometown. Not a great birthday present. Been in central Florida since 98 but am moving back soon & for the 1st time ever all of the sudden elevation is my number 1 thing to consider when I buy eventually.
At least North Port had been bouncing back from the hurricane and now is on a strong growth trajectory. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer them
First off awesome video! I live off of Salford and we had minimal flooding on our street. Though our neighboring streets were buried in water every way. I do feel that NP was not at fault in this situation. Mother nature dropping 15-20 inches of rain in a few hours... I'd say a 100 year flood. It flooded the highway.
Appreciate that Tracy and glad you found the video helpful! This was most definitely a historic flood and we will hopefully not see it again in our lifetimes
We were there!
5:46 those damn trucks are doing more flooding than anything else. SLOW DOWN
I’d agree with you on that. Some of these trucks came by faster than that.
If you can afford flood insurance you should get it even in an area without flooding. Why? It covers your pipes backing up/breaking and water/sewer sludge flowing into your house. I’ve known several people this has happened to over the years. Either get flood insurance or self insure.
I would agree. This hurricane opened up a lot of eyes for people who didn’t have flood insurance before but now they are going to buy it, even though they do not live in a mandatory flood zone
@@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida glad to hear it. The more people who get it through the government the cost will go down as the cost will be widespread.
Insurance companies won’t sell flood insurance to homes in flood zones which is a majority of FL
@@spencerv2499 flood insurance is offer to homeowners through the Federal Government
Where’s area around biscayne west of US41 , the got older homes there and little more distractions
Good to hear the good talk from kids who know, your florida average rainfall would flood much of los angeles every year. We get 16 inches, in 1982 got 34 came in 2 " of flooding my lot, so know 34 plus too much for us
My grandma lives on Mongite and she didn't have flood insurance because she was told she didn't need it and her house a total loss
I’m so sorry to hear that 😔 Sadly, that is not a rare occurrence for this hurricane. Many others who didn’t think they need flood insurance had their houses flood
This storm was unlike anything I seen before, but my house stood like God Himself held His Hands around it
Never modernized the canal systems, they are 60 years old!! The city of north port acknowledged this 3 years ago!!!
I live on mongite, house 4498 for 14 years so far. During the storm, i watched dem waters flood under my doors and actually break my window like a dam flood gate, water wind'n shit just rishing right through! The water came straight up to our hips, my shed was even sent fly'n three houses down and across the street! It stoped cuz it hit a light pole, hung right up there like a flag and after all the flooding went down, we had to gut our house from all the mold tryna grow everywhere in the drywall, out shit, the insulation, lost our plumb'n our toilets, cabinets, beds, our whole front lawns turned brown from all the shit stuck to the grass! Both cars dam busted from being flooded. And in the way out right after the storm ended we trudged through sraightup waist-deep to neck-neep swamp water, coouldnt see a dam thing, just kept walk'n and hoped we wouldnt steap on noth'n! Truely a sureal experience i never thought i'd live through and ive been down here my whole life! Ive been throug every hurricane 'n nado to hit this place, hell it took 'boutta week ago just to get the dam wifi back as well. Crazy shit i'll tell ya. All ya'll better take care out there! Its a rough one but we can bounce back, were floridians!
Wow, that must have been a crazy experience and sorry to hear that! 🙏🏼
Sure ain't the same North Port Charlotte that General Development paved back in the 50's. I remember kids that lived in North Port went to school at Venice Jr. and Sr. High. Only about 8 to 10 kids rode the bus to get to school. I was one of them. Wasn't a soul that lived down there.
Tampa Opened their Water Lockes just before Ian Landfall thinking they were going to be hit, instead it ADDED to the water table that Flooded Inland Lands.
Bro estate area is east of i75 ,
There is no north of i75
Actually, I-75 runs east to west through North Port then continues north from Venice. So yeah, the Estates are on the North side. I was a bit confused when I moved here 20 years ago. You got your N Biscayne and S Biscayne. N Cranberry and S Cranberry, as an example. Then there's Price Blvd, you got W Price and E Price divided by Toledo Blade. If, say, you take Toledo Blade past I-75, which is heading North, and head east on Tropicare, you're in the Estates. Incidentally @Living in Sarasota Florida- Noah Ward, I live on Longbow Ave. I checked the Sarasota Flood Zone map for North Port a day before Ian and was dishearten to find out I lived in a flood zone. When Charley hit, it wasn't considered a flood zone. The neighborhood did receive flooding, but luckily only in the streets. We're right below Bobcat Trail on Toledo. My friend lives off of S Salford and his house did get a foot of water in the house. Total loss.
Sarasota here, the biggest reason NP flooded was #1 we had daily rain for a good week ahead of Ian , which made the rivers already cresting and ground saturated, then along comes Ian that dumped a nother good 19" + of rain and caused a surge that pushed more water into those water ways. Most can shelter from the high winds but it was water that caused the most distruction. I live near the airport in Sarasota , we saw wind of about 125 mph , our airport even sustained some damage from the high winds, my home is 3/4 of a mile from Sarasota Bay, home was built in 1972 , we had no damage other then our PVC fence in back of yard was blown down and lots of plant debre .We feel very fortunate that not only did we not have any damage to home but Sarasota did not get the surge that FT Myers got. Please don't forget all those poor people in Arcadia that had extreme flooding even worse then NP , the Peace River overflowed along with Myakka river , Arcadia's flooding was so bad , you barely could see the roofs of homes .
Water front properties are worth more.
You get what you paid for.

Luckily in my area in North Port we didn’t experience any flooding. But it was really close. The flooding on the road was higher than our mailboxes, and looked like a river rapids outside our house. We were built just high enough so that it didn’t reach us. It’s a good thing, cause we don’t have flood insurance.
Glad to hear your houses was spared. It was definitely a close call.
4 ft above sea level yet they will rebuild this one more time got to wonder who makes money here because it's not the people that are now homeless.
houses are being built on marsh lands, Islands and to close to the beach. I hope they had flood insurance because theres nothing worse than water.
FEMA is NOT going to give flood insurance benefits to those who don't have policies. End of discussion. What MAY happen is that banks may start requiring flood insurance before granting a mortgage.
In many of these shots you can see that the water is moving, some of it moving very quickly, and that's a good thing. Stagnant water after a major storm is a nightmare. If the water is going somewhere, then it will eventually drop in level. I'm originally from Punta Gorda, no one seems to be going there so I don't know what's going on. But my brother emailed to say that the power is finally back on.
All great observations. Most of this water is flowing but there are many other areas where it is stagnant unfortunately. Hoping the water recedes in 1-2 weeks.
My house as well as mothers house took serious damage. My mother was N Fort whereas I lived in Cape. I am still without power and limited water. I’m so looking forward to a hot shower and a home cooked hot meal.
Hope you get power & water back soon! 🙂
WOW I had no damage at all and I survived but I had to go to a hotel and I live in North Port I literally had to go to Tampa just to be in a hotel
Glad to hear everything was good with you and your property
My mom owned a home on Granada Blvd. In North Port Florida what does it look like now.
Luckily most of North Port has recovered from Ian
Again 20 inches of rain in a few hours has nowhere to go but up. Some houses were, built higher. Almost 2 years later we are still here. Bridges were washed out. Rebuilt to hopefully withstand another long lasting rain maker and hurricane!
🥰🥰🥰
North Port Estates has always flooded and always will.
City engineers are so intelligent . Being sarcastic. North Port was nothing hardly there 25-30 years ago. I don't think they ever anticipated a hurricane coming through. City workers are only interested in filling their pockets with money they are not concerned about the people and problems. That's every city is shitty. In Clearwater their building a billion dollar pedestrian bridge so 3 people a year can cross us 19 to the other side?????? Can you do a story about that? It's not a billion but pretty sure in the high millions.
Has anyone even ate or has power yet?
What to do? Maybe Donny will put them up.
We came home
Why does your voice sound like almost AI ?
I don’t know where u were but it certainly doesn’t look like north port. We didn’t have flood, we’re needing help to pick up large amounts of metal.
Not sure where you were but I was literally driving around less than 24 hours after Ian hit. Don't you see that shopping area in the background next to US-41?
Who going to want to buy those house so the next peoples can have problems come the next flood no buddy. 😱 💯💯 10-14-2022.
We got nearly 20 inches of rain in about 8 hours would any city in the US fair as well as we did prolly not. We got hit really hard even tho they just keep showing Sanibel and fort Myers.
8:02 to be better than ever before ?🙄
Huess what shits changed, Its 80+ degrees on Oct 4th in North Idaho thats 20 over normal.
Real estate values sinking faster than the titanic?
Real estate prices climbing higher in 2023 now

North Port resident here. A lot of flooding had to do with engineering issues with the culverts passing under Price Blvd. Not designed to handle that kind of water. Previously planned expansion to the road is supposed to address this issue.
Hello Tyler.
Thanks for your comment.
Did the houses on both side of Cocoplum canal in North Port get flooded?
We’re planning to buy a lot on this canal.
We love North port.
@@cindynguyen6103 the streets along the cocoplum waterway got flooded in some areas. It is a pretty lengthy canal so not all flooding was equal. Pretty sure the houses did ok but access to some was quite difficult.
@@tylerread1068 We appreciate your feedback very much, Mr. Tyler Read. We’re looking at some lots at around S. Raintree and Serris Dr.
Do you remember this area was flooded during the Ian hurricane?
Did the canal water level rise so substantially that it can cause flood?
Hope everyone in North Port is recovering well! ❤️
@@cindynguyen6103 flooding was well to the west of that area. Those lots are pretty much in port charlotte
@@tylerread1068 Thanks so much, Tyler.
ever heard of Hurricane Seeding - close to election season and I dont believe in Coincidence
🤦North Port is swamp land 🤦 that's why flooding happens. But it's common sense and if you live in Florida anywhere 😂 get flood insurance. You don't need someone to tell you to get that 🤦
People need to have common sense.
I get it when people don’t want to leave. A lot if don’t have resources $ to evacuate - That should be program to offer . The money spent search rescue efforts for cost more if that would be option. Not being critical - Florida is always ripe for Hurricanes just like CA with mudslides earthquakes - This disaster will cost all of us across USA insurance rates will rise.
Watch the North Port city council meetings online. 🙄
if this water sits...like this .......the land will sink......SINK.....SINK
Don’t give FEMA ammunition!
Oh boy here we go blame FEMA. If you live in a hurricane state get flood insurance geez
For some reason you’re giving Nort Port a bad name. We do not appreciate it.
If you look at my channel you will see most of it is promoting North Port. I would appreciate it if you didn't make these comments without even taking a closer look
look at a map of Florida..what do you see? a bunch of lakes and sinkholes which become lakes...obviously Florida is sinking into the Gulf..I would not invest in any real-estate thats located in Florida
Look at Alaska or Minnesota that has the most bodies of water out of any state…what’s your point 😂 Just because there’s water means nothing. For you saying florida will “flood” let’s explore the elevation of the east coast. Most the east coast islands & coastline will be underwater at the same rate…but yet you don’t mention that…isn’t that funny 🤔 It’s best to know your facts

You got to do a story about Clearwater's billion dollar pedestrian bridge so 5 people a year can walk to the other side of us 19 to go to hess gas station if they don't like 7-11. Lol . What a waste of money.
Take a shot everytime he says however...
Blurry videos!!!
What’s blurry? These videos were shot in 4k 60 fps
😂On what fucking planet was Ft Myers the center? They caught the dirty side. We took the hit, and then the core spun on us for 5+ hours. Get your shit straight.👏
Category is also wrong. They re-evaluated, and classified it as a 5. Get this fucker off of here.
