I really appreciate you talking about how a lot of people couldn't evacuate even if they wanted to. So many people are ignorant and think its as easy as packing up and going. There's food, medical equipment, transportation, pets, medicine, etc that would have to be brought with as well.
I do agree, where could a lot of people go? Yes some or most have family out of state, but by the time everyone got out of the danger zone it would been too late. Traffic gets way too backed up, the storm changes directions at anytime. So probably best to stay where you are or try to get to a shelter/hotel in the area. Yes hurricanes are and can be scary if you're not sure what to do or never been in one.
I live in PR and we have been through hurricane irma, maria and fiona and a bad storm. Here there's shelters open for everyone that needs it even if you have to take pets etc and they give u food etc they should do that over there cuz hurricanes are very serious and thank God they are ok and save but there's times houses don't hold up.
I can honestly sit and listen to Heather talk all day because she is just so educated and she definitely knows what she's talking about! Praying for quick recoveries for those who are injured! Much love! ❤️
I’m from Fort Myers, totally agree with you Heather about evacuations. People who don’t live in Florida don’t understand what its like trying to drive out of the state during evacuations. And yes we didn’t know we’d get a direct hit until the day of, they kept saying it would be more north and even the timing of when they said it would hit was off, it sped up at the last minute. And if you go to an emergency shelter in your town and have a pet, you have to keep your pet crated the whole time which some people don’t even have crates for their pets and you have to bring your vaccination paperwork for your pets, otherwise they won’t let you bring them in, so some people can’t go to those shelters unless they leave their pets at home which is horrible! I would rather stay and risk my life than leave my pets behind.
How did the new house do? So glad to see an update and that y'all are okay. Us Louisianans understand everything you said in this video. It's SO devastating.
I went through Harvey here in Houston a few years back and lost everything! So I understand exactly why y’all didn’t evacuate. When water started coming inside our house we then made the decision to pack what we could carry on us and walk to a family members house around the corner. In chest deep waters. I will NEVER forget that in my life! My prayers are with everyone affected by Ian! Decisions aren’t easy to make especially when Mother Nature is unpredictable.I’m happy y’all are safe!
I been through a lot of the hurricanes in Houston when I was like, 12 now I’m in my 30s now it went by so fast a couple of years ago my street was flooded I’m on the out skirts the area is way better.🙌🙌🙌🙌
To whoever is reading this keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this.
It’s so crazy, I saw so many people asking Floridians ‘why didn’t you evacuate?’. Not everyone has the money, or transportation to do so. Also some people don’t even have a place to go, so many hotels were booked.
For us everyone flocked to the Superdome….the roof ripped off and it flooded. Storms are so unpredictable. Last year we went through hurricane Ida, we stayed, had minor damage, 6 days no power. Had to drive and hour 45 minutes to Mississippi to get gas, get food. Sat in traffic on the interstate just to get there. No storm is the same. Glad y’all are safe, and in the grand scheme of things, y’all have minor damage. Prayers for Florida
I'm happy you guys are safe and did everything possible to the best of your ability at the time of this horrendous storm. It was scary just hearing about it,I can't imagine going through it in my home. Your home is your safe haven,and with the storm like that you feel like you are being invaded and attacked.I pray your future new home is ok too,but remember all the broken things can be replaced. Stay safe.
You are the kindest soul. Thinking of others, you don’t get that much anymore. I love your family, I enjoy watching your videos and I’m so glad you guys are safe and doing well. Thinking of you guys ❤️
I remember Hurrican Katrina were they said it was not going to hit the part of South Florida where I lived and it was not supposed to be a CAT 5. That storm changed direction and speed at the last moment. It was devastating and too late to go anywhere at that point. No power and water for two weeks and houses destroyed. People who have never experienced a hurricane don't understand how difficult it is to evacuate when the storm can change directions and speed at any point. Glad you all safe and pray those affected.
I live in South Texas, hurricane Ian was so destructive that our beaches are closed because the water was up to our dunes. With Florida you only have north or south to go, in Texas at least we can go more inland. People who don’t live in a hurricane state, will not understand a hurricane. Good Job fighting for others Heather! I stand with you!
Its always easier for people to criticise and judge when they are not walking in your shoes. No one has to justify their reasons for staying put or leaving. The main thing is your safe. Also everyone copes differently with different situations, some people will be overwhelmed, be more distressed whereas others will humour themselves through it because under the surface they maybe anxious. Gosh these days you cant be anything that is not perceived by those individuals to be right! Thinking of everyone who suffered loss of life or homes in the path of Hurricane Ian, love and thoughts with you all xo
Thoughts and prayers with those went through this including yourselves. So sorry for those who lost their lives or family members. To those who lost all their belongings I can’t begin to imagine. I hope there will be financial help for you all to at least rebuild your homes. You guys thank god you got away with a small amount of damage but I am sure it was very harrowing. Take care ❤
My heart hurts for every single person affected by Hurricane Ian. Please do what you can to help…water clothes blankets toiletries food a few dollars.. it all matters to those in need. No donation is too small. Praying for Florida ❤🙏
well you did say you wanted a house on the water!! but on a serious note, it's so good to hear from you guys so soon after the mess! we know its hard for you all out there yet you're still giving us content and keeping us updated! glad you're okay and you have a good sense of humor about it
Small minded people who are saying negative things! People can only make decisions for themselves! So glad you guys are safe now. Prayers with anyone who was effected by this disaster 🥹🤍
this storm was insane. I live in the Cape and what happened to Fort Myers Beach and everything is unbelievable. Ian destroyed our city Florida won't be the same for a while.😢😢 Glad you all are good 💔
Glad you all are safe and I definitely get what you were saying. Tough decisions for everyone to make in these hurricane situations. Praying for all involved and I love the idea you have about making donations to those in need.
Dang…. You know it was bad when the medal lamp post just snapped in half like that! I’m happy you guys are okay and alive at the very least and I hope you guys recover as quick as realistically possible!
Idk how you can leave your pets. I would never leave my babies behind. I would cry if something happened to them. I would not live without myself if I left them.
Yes Heather I agree with everything you said ....why do people judge .... Just so pleased your all safe ...and I would never leave my pets ...I would find a way to move them ...I was so scared for you all ....the way the wind 🍃 was blowing and such strength too ...and hope the home your moving to wasn't damaged either ..keep safe for all what you have to do ...Many blessings to you all
Glad y'all are safe. Hurricanes are known to go back and fourth (called the windshield wiper motion) for days before it actually hits.. the cone of uncertainty which as Louisianaians we've been in a lot too. They are fickle, and you gotta do the best with the tools/information one's given. Praying for Florida
It just gives me ptsd from when Texas had hurricane Harvey! So I understand where y’all are coming from but thank god me and my family didn’t have any damage done to our house
I'm glad you guys got through it. I completely understand what you were saying and a lot people also can't leave. Hurricanes can change direction within 24 hours. I'm not from Florida but I understand that you have one chance to leave or stay and hope that it doesn't change for the worse.
Glad you are all ok. Watched you on the live and I didn't even think it was this bad ... 2 vlogs later we see how bad it is. Sorry you guys have to go through this. How is the new house? Has the realtor called you about damage to your current house? Hopefully there is no major damage to both houses and that the new owners can move into your house and you can move into your house.
I am sorry you had some damage, your part of Florida has changed due to the storm, most of the rest of the state had little to no affect. You will recover and things will get back to normal. Just hang in there.
I live in south cape. Very tip of south cape. Have yet to get power. We are ripped apart, homes down and swept away. And she is right, every state has something go wrong. Hurricanes is florida. Hurricanes have a mind of their own. We do not know where it is going until it is at our door. We flooded 9 feet storm surge with 195 mile an hour winds. We sat on the bathroom floor for twelve hours with no clue if we were even out of the storm. Barely could even call my uncle in indiana for him to tell us where and when it would stop. No power. Cold showers. All fast easy foods, cereal most nights. My life has been torn apart in a day and all you can do it wait it out. No school, no work, no life. Stores close at five and curfew is 6. The city is dark, cold, and empty feeling. My hometown of 20 years is gone and will never be the same. Streets are flooded with down power lines and trees and even boats. Cape coral and sanibel are suffering right now, and if anybody can help we would greatly appreciate it. Food, water, shelters, anything we could use. I sat in line yesterday for gas for 11 hours. On E. Nobody understands it until you are in it. So I’m tired of being and hearing we should have evacuated. We were boarding up our house a day before when it shifted. Lmk if you can pack up your entire house. Lanai, and garage as well as drive ten to anywhere hours north. It’s impossible. All I see and hear is helicopters, sirens, and boats allover everywhere. And it is completely devastating. Please help in every way you can. Food, water, etc even donating. Florida could rlly use some help right now
My parents went through Ian in fort Myers and my mom is still traumatized from it. What you said how it was supposed to go to Tampa then just shifted was so true. Thank you for saying all the good things you said. I hated watching the storm come and then go to fort Myers and my texts not delivering to my parents while I’m at my house in Miami
Floridian here but on east coast….you are completely right about the negativity people throw when it comes to how to handle evacuation/not evacuating, etc. most people don’t get it. You do.
I can’t get over how the neighborhood is so flooded I’m glad y’all are ok and your house isn’t flooded inside I live in Jacksonville and the storm didn’t even come for us
I totally understand because hurricanes are unpredictable. Fort Meyers notice was too late and they were told to buckle down and it was too late for them to leave.
People don't understand until they live through it themselves. Plus alot if shelters don't take animals. Hugs to you all. I did see that Fort Myers, very heartbreaking!
2 weeks is too far out to judge. I 100% agree with you. We have 24-72 hours typically. We were set for a direct hit then hurricane paused on the Bahamas then started towards us then a sudden 90 degree turn up the east coast. We hardly felt it. This one we were supposed to only get tropical impact. Nope we had the eye go right over us. This storm was so massive everywhere was effected and still effected by the rising water. The St. John’s river looks like a lake not a river right now.
You have described our feelings perfectly praying for you and your damage s and I hope that it gets fixed thankfully because it didn't hit us I'm actually in Holiday Florida it was a direct hit we even tried to evacuate and nothing was available it's just crazy the judgment people throw out I'm disabled I tried to do it myself but they wouldn't take the rest of my family so I didn't want to be without them we all live together but we were just going to have to ridee it out if it happened and it just shifted like a snap of a finger we don't have a car either or the money I am praying for every person that got hit with this that is the hard part about living in Florida we don't know until it's actually said
I’m from Cape Coral and we had 12 hours to evacuate and they didn’t tell us until Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon the roads were too jammed up to move. And by 8pm they told us we need to be sheltered in place. Matlacha and Pine islands bridge closed that night so no one could leave. Tomorrow will be Day 9 without power.
THANK YOU for the part about evacuations. It makes me sick seeing comments on TikTok of people saying others don’t deserve to be rescued for not leaving. You can’t escape a natural disaster that nobody knows how to genuinely track 🙃
My parents have a home on Pine Island, but they reside in Illinois and you are so accurate. They didn’t know they’d be a direct hit until less than 24 hours out.
my family and i are in fort myers and it’s absolutely crazy the amount of damage here .. dead bodies in the water and no power or water anywhere it feels like we are living in a war zone.
I live in an area in Australia that often has bush fires so I get what you are saying, it’s not as easy as just leaving sometimes you can and do have time to leave and prepare others you don’t
Hope that everything will turn out better the next few days/weeks.. thinking of your family everyday waiting for an update I clicked so fast when I saw this video go up. I hope your new house is okay! Praying you y’all❤️
Ian took a turn in less then 24hr. It was suppose to go and hit right by tampa. People who left the west cost on tampas side left to orlando, then ian decided to take a crazy turn towards Sarasota 🫣 that was unexpected. Hurricanes are unexpected but the tracks kept saying tampa. I feel bad for yall, Sarasota/fort myars got hit really bad. 😓 hope yall are ok
I'm so sorry to hear that all the damage from the hurricane it is said but I'm so very happy you guys are all alive and well happy Wednesday love from Canada ❤️👍👍❤️👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊🇨🇦
The same thing happened to us in Ike we were told hunker down and have supplies the next morning we're told evacuate about 12 hrs before the storm hit lost important papers and important things
@ 4:02 Heather, I can tell that that palm tree branch is totally discolored from some part of hurricane Ian, and now, I'd say with a flooded road, it's time to get out the canoe (kayak), and ore set, and "swim home!" Isn't that cool?
Clearly they have not lived through evacuating. It is a night mare. We evacuated going just 3 half hours north. On the road for 20hrs with 2 babies in the car. People were crazy ran me off the road with the babies and pets in the car. This is Texas. Did not hit our area it was for nothing. Luckily we had relatives we could stay with. But it is still expensive.
I love Florida so much.💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. And I'm so glad that Emma and Ellie are okay.🙏. And here's the fun fact - This small town look like the movies "Escape From New York" and "Escape From L.A."😨
My cousin went to help Florida clean up. he came all the way from Kentucky it would be cool if he was one in them cars you showed! I wouldn’t doubt it.
It definitely won’t be the same. I rode out hurricane Michael and it looked like a bomb went off. It’s been 4 years and I still don’t recognize things and it’s my home town. But you build stronger and every one learns for the next time. It also brings a community together in ways you would never imagine. The gas also does not get better for about a month or two and same with stores.
I don’t understand why ppl get so upset about the jokes. Yes what happened is devastating, tragic, and traumatic. I send prayers to everyone in Florida. But there is nothing wrong with joking about the situation you are facing. Why is it so wrong to try and have a little positivity in your day instead of constantly focusing on the negative? If you can find something positive in that negative then you’re amazing!! Some ppl have to joke to cope!! I hope all is well for your family, you’re keeping safe, and you can continue to find positivity in your days despite the terrible things you have to endure.
I really appreciate you talking about how a lot of people couldn't evacuate even if they wanted to. So many people are ignorant and think its as easy as packing up and going. There's food, medical equipment, transportation, pets, medicine, etc that would have to be brought with as well.

so glad you guys took ellie to go check on her friend.
I can’t get over how the neighborhood is so flooded I’m glad y’all are ok and your house isn’t flooded inside I live in Jacksonville and the storm didn’t even come for us
Ian really said oh you want a waterfront home, here you go!
LOL yeah they sure got one at their house they live in now.
Prayers for everyone in Florida and affected by the hurricane
I totally understand because hurricanes are unpredictable. Fort Meyers notice was too late and they were told to buckle down and it was too late for them to leave.
People don't understand until they live through it themselves. Plus alot if shelters don't take animals. Hugs to you all. I did see that Fort Myers, very heartbreaking!
Prayers to you guys and others ❤
2 weeks is too far out to judge. I 100% agree with you. We have 24-72 hours typically.

Hope that everything will turn out better the next few days/weeks.. thinking of your family everyday waiting for an update I clicked so fast when I saw this video go up. I hope your new house is okay! Praying you y’all❤️
It’s just an awful situation all the way around. Thankful that you all are safe and together. Sending prayers & love! ❤️
Ian took a turn in less then 24hr. It was suppose to go and hit right by tampa. People who left the west cost on tampas side left to orlando, then ian decided to take a crazy turn towards Sarasota 🫣 that was unexpected. Hurricanes are unexpected but the tracks kept saying tampa. I feel bad for yall, Sarasota/fort myars got hit really bad. 😓 hope yall are ok
I’m glad that you are okay my heart gose out to the families
Sending love to your family Heather ❤❤❤❤ thinking of you all in Florida love from us in the U.K.
Glad you all are okay. I'd be happy also. Not everyone has the money to leave, leaving is not free!
I’m glad you are all safe ❤️🙏

Thank God you guys are ok
Glad to see y’all are ok! Stay safe!!
Glad u posted I been thinking of you guys.
Nice to hear you are fine and well.
I’m a pharmacist at the children’s hospital in Fort Myers, we didn’t even have 24 hour notice before they called the hurricane teams in.
Sometimes people don't have the money to leave either. That's gas, hotel, food that you need. You just hope for the best
Good morning everyone happy Wednesday morning and I'm glad you safe and sending you prayers for all of you and I loved your vlogs
That's it ,storms are unpredictable
I’m glad y’all are safe!!!🤍
Prayers for Florida 😢
Glad you guys are ok ❤🇨🇦
They are most definitely the ones that never been through bad storms….. Most doesn’t have anywhere to go….
Hey Hope you guys are okay! I live on the east coast of Florida in the Fort Lauderdale area.Praying for everyone in Ft Myers and Sanibel
The same thing happened to us in Ike we were told hunker down and have supplies the next morning we're told evacuate about 12 hrs before the storm hit lost important papers and important things
And not only do people not know where to go but can’t afford to leave
@ 4:02 Heather, I can tell that that palm tree branch is totally discolored from some part of hurricane Ian, and now, I'd say with a flooded road, it's time to get out the canoe (kayak), and ore set, and "swim home!" Isn't that cool?
I’m been praying 🙏 for y’all be safe and live I’m keeping on praying 🙏 for y’all
Clearly they have not lived through evacuating. It is a night mare. We evacuated going just 3 half hours north. On the road for 20hrs with 2 babies in the car. People were crazy ran me off the road with the babies and pets in the car. This is Texas. Did not hit our area it was for nothing. Luckily we had relatives we could stay with. But it is still expensive.
I always like it when Emma and Ellie’s Family makes awesome and fun videos like this :)
I love Florida so much.💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. And I'm so glad that Emma and Ellie are okay.🙏. And here's the fun fact - This small town look like the movies "Escape From New York" and "Escape From L.A."😨
My cousin went to help Florida clean up. he came all the way from Kentucky it would be cool if he was one in them cars you showed! I wouldn’t doubt it.
It definitely won’t be the same. I rode out hurricane Michael and it looked like a bomb went off. It’s been 4 years and I still don’t recognize things and it’s my home town. But you build stronger and every one learns for the next time. It also brings a community together in ways you would never imagine. The gas also does not get better for about a month or two and same with stores.
I don’t understand why ppl get so upset about the jokes. Yes what happened is devastating, tragic, and traumatic. I send prayers to everyone in Florida. But there is nothing wrong with joking about the situation you are facing. Why is it so wrong to try and have a little positivity in your day instead of constantly focusing on the negative? If you can find something positive in that negative then you’re amazing!! Some ppl have to joke to cope!! I hope all is well for your family, you’re keeping safe, and you can continue to find positivity in your days despite the terrible things you have to endure.
I was expecting your house to have flooding in glad you didn’t have too much damage compared to others
Was your new house ok as you didn’t say before you started a new day m, that’s so kind of you to take stuff to other families x
You guys made the right decision
