There are three elevated spans in the Sanibel Causeway. Span A suffered bridge damage near the toll booth. The artificial island that begins Span B (fill sand) washed out. The second Island that begins Span C (fill sand) washed out and the end of Span C (Sanibel Island) also washed out. The Sanibel Causeway was built less than 20 years ago.
So sad. Sanibel has been my favorite place on earth for 38 years. Hopefully they can get engineers in there quickly to access and start the rebuilding process… without the bridge the island comes to a standstill to repair the catastrophic damage there.
Excessive scour occurred undermining the bridge transitions footers and foundations. The protective sea wall and riff-raff failed as it was not massive/strong enough to withstand both the force and duration of slow moving hurricane Ian and its massive storm surge.
So sad have gone to sanibel many time just love it there . My heart and prayers goes out to everyone that's going threw the devastation if this hurricane.
So, so sad. Sanibel has been our 2nd home for 18 years. We were due to take our Vacation on Sanibel on Saturday 1st October. God bless everyone who's affected by this catastrophic tragedy. Rebuild Sanibel ASAP.
Honestly this is probably a quicker fix than even a single section of span having collapsed. The parts the fell are essentially concrete brick retaining walls with packed earth filling and a regular road on top.
Technically the one you're referring to was replaced by the current bridge roughly 20 years ago, right after Hurricane Charley. I only remember because that's when I moved to that area. Still sad either way, such a beautiful area.
Hated Sanibel personally while having to work there. They should have had a bridge from St James City to Sanibel, but It they were cheap and didn't want to build one.
The MSC Concrete wall with dirt fill got washed away and collapsed. As for the other sections of road over the smaller islands.. they got completely washed out it's part of the bay now. That takes a lot longer to rebuild the washed-out sections they might have to just make it an elevated concrete bridge over those sections now. What a mess.
@@AmazedBunion what tables, jackass? The state is full of republicans and democrats alike who were devastated by this. Try, for once, not to be an idiotic political hack.
@@dailyvictory6656 no I bought the place ten years ago , it’s a small stick build ,basically a cabin. but will work for my retirement in a few years . That is if sanibel is recovered by then.
Sun of God is here, the feeling of his scorn. A world that can easily feel full of discouragement and bad news “Eyes to See” is a refreshing reminder that God IS at work all around us.
The price one pays to live on a BARRIER ISLAND on a sandbar which are nature's walls against Cyclones. Here's hoping they rebuild better, and that buildings along the coast are made to respect nature again, and not just be cheaply plopped down willy-nilly.
Looks like a lot of Florida Republicans are going to need some "socialism" after this weekend. I just hope they are more gracious in accepting it than they are in denying other states access to emergency federal funds because Americans in emergency situations deserve to be helped no matter what side of the aisle they sit on.
@@Yarmox Pointing out hypocrisy hurts doesn't it? And as for 'natural disasters' like this hurricane - climate scientists say they're going to get more frequent. Perhaps a few conservatives will become enlightened. And yes this is clearly a tragedy and my heart goes out to those affected - but it's also a "teachable moment."
This collapse is the very reason infrastructure inspections need to be stepped up. But republicans don’t want people to know all the bridges are cracking and damaged. The army corp of engineers needs to get out there and see how they can repair and what types of structure they can put in place to get traffic moving again their.
IDC what you build out there- it leads to a barrier island and the ocean (water) is a mighty force. It will ALWAYS reclaim. Follow the science, yanno. Look at the outer banks.
A very tragic situation. For those who don't believe climate change is going to make severe weather events like this more frequent, now would be a good time to invest in coastal properties since there are likely plenty who are now motivated to sell and relocate to higher ground. Put your money behind your conservative political beliefs.
We've had natural disasters for centuries. Please stop blaming this stuff on Climate Change. You can't point at every single negative weather effect and say "See? It's Climate Change!" and expect anyone to believe you. You'll never convince anyone with this fear-mongering "boy who cried wolf" nonsense. The reason why this awareness movement never gains traction is due to this uneducated nonsense. Please educate yourself on the actual expected effects of climate change rather than getting self righteous every time it rains too much. Also throwing money at some sort of Climate Change cause or charity will not stop hurricanes. Ever.
And for those of you that do, maybe someone might listen if your hypocrite heroes didn’t continue to build and live on the oceans edge. But leave it to a lib to make a political statement during a tragedy. So crass and base. 👏🏻
@@daleeasterwood2683 I can help myself - and I do my own investing. It's just that I think people who believe climate change is a hoax should be on the lookout for coastal property being unloaded by people who think climate change is real. Why is that so upsetting to you? Shouldn't people invest based on their convictions of where things are headed?
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted". YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments. If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land. AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Why is it heart wrenching to see it in that condition? I find it comical, laughable even. I never feel sympathy for a fool that jumps in front of a train. These people chose to build and live in this area. An area where people should not be trying to build and live. LOL

I'd feel worse for the Sanibel residents but they're all super-rich and likely got off the island on their private helicopters days before this happened. Really sucks for tourists who want to visit the island, though. It's a nice drive.
I am way more curious about the island itself, we need video of Sanibel and Captiva!

Looks like a toll increase in in the near future...

Me & my grandparents would go there every year to their timeshare.

Beautiful Sanibel 🙏
It's gone. Sanibel island is destroyed
Unbelievable! Glad we got to experience driving over it.
So sad have gone to sanibel many time just love it there .
My heart and prayers goes out to everyone that's going threw the devastation if this hurricane.
18' walls of water tend to break a couple of things. Prayers and good thoughts to those impacted.
So, so sad. Sanibel has been our 2nd home for 18 years. We were due to take our Vacation on Sanibel on Saturday 1st October. God bless everyone who's affected by this catastrophic tragedy. Rebuild Sanibel ASAP.
I was planning to see for the first time mid October 2022 so sad I wont be able to now
She was about cry at the end it looked like. Very tragic
I hope every one is safe
We were suppose to be there next Thursday staying on the island, I am heartbroken for the residents.
The entire island is destroyed
Me too. Couldn't the storm have hit like a week or two from now. So inconsiderate
Awesome analysis - I hope this is the B Team. They seem to be in over their heads.
Were cars on it???
I worked on Sanibel in 2009 doing Snowy Plover surveys for SCCF😢 I loved driving on that causeway
That's the only way into Sanibel.
submarine, helicopter,
catapult …
National guard can deploy floatation bridges. No problem
@@dailyvictory6656 Good luck with a boat. They don't want to have to save anyone else who hits something in the water and is in trouble. Stay away.
They're basically all vacation homes on Sanibel anyway. These people have other places to go.
Horrific, breaks my heart
I was there like a month before it happened and drove over it, I never imagined this would happened. This is insane.
YEARS. It will be years until Sanibel will be open to tourist.
Was the Mucky Duck Restaurant destroyed?
Honestly this is probably a quicker fix than even a single section of span having collapsed. The parts the fell are essentially concrete brick retaining walls with packed earth filling and a regular road on top.
Yes, it does appear that all of the actual spans are intact. It's the dirt filled parts that collapsed.
I’m going to miss driving down Sanibel bridge… It’s been there for 59 years😔
Technically the one you're referring to was replaced by the current bridge roughly 20 years ago, right after Hurricane Charley. I only remember because that's when I moved to that area. Still sad either way, such a beautiful area.
Residence not stranded on Sanibel Island. Going to need supplies.

Man this is sad. I’ll have to post the video of me riding my motorcycle over this causeway when I was down there last summer.
let me guess, desantis is gonna ask for help like he denied new jersey in 2013.

Was there in early august. Sad to see
Cant believe is this the same way that we drove several times. So sad. God bless florida. 🙏😢
God just fu(ked Florida.
This is going to make checking on my place there a bit more difficult
Your place is likely screwed. I hope you have insurance.
You now have no need to check on it. It's gone.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand its gone!
It’s there and yes I have insurance so I will just have to wait and fix what was broken. It’s been there since the 60’s and made it thru another.
@@dailyvictory6656 no I bought the place ten years ago , it’s a small stick build ,basically a cabin. but will work for my retirement in a few years . That is if sanibel is recovered by then.
Uh 3 sections, that's gonna take a while to fix ,even intermittent
Holy sheet it's underwater not just busted up. Y'all aren't using that road for a while. Island life, amirite? It's a blast.
Don't worry Florida supported that infrastructure bill. Oh, wait...
LOL!

Mother nature owns this planet -- not us.

Idk how hurricane ians wind speed was not strong but it broke a bridge
The anchors are just blabbing. They don't even know what they're talking about or looking at.
Sad 😭 the reconstruction of the cities Will offer opportunities of job.
unbelievable
😲
Big yikes
Holy shto....
Most of the island is washed away
That’s sad but the bridge was trashed anyways. Glad they can build a newer one in that stretch
This is very suspicious…
i think Hunter’s laptop was involved.
Antifa and BLM using Hunter's laptop?
Nah, the weak spot of the causeway was in one of the top secret papers in Trumps apartment, Trump flushed it down the toilet and Ivan picked it up...
CAT FIVE...not cat 4
