Yeppers 😢been there literally ! Sanibel,Captiva, Key West, Miami Beach, Orlando and went through 18 hurricanes living there…. I moved to Alaska !!
I wish more would do what you did..Never know when another will show up and every year we are all waiting to see if one is coming our way.
@@thepamela050 I won’t give my fire prediction 😳 but the constant “should I stay or should I go” and not rebuilding in a hurricane path 🙄
@@melaniebuswell6646 Definitely not rebuilding in a hurricane path but many hestiate for fear of having their homes looted...
@@thepamela050 yeah, I’m done 😳 I love Florida ♥️ every catastrophic hurricane they rebuiyliie it won’t happen again 😳🙄
@@melaniebuswell6646 STFU stay in Alaska and don’t bitch when you have a earthquake. It’s not a if but a when one will happen to you.
Insurance is such a scam
Sadly, when you have islands that can be "overtopped"(water over entire island) you have to wonder if it is right to rebuild. I know that's harsh but how many times does this have to happen?
I used to think otherwise, free choice and all..... but now?? I find myself agreeing with your statement. The risk to life is too great. It is a virtual certainty this tragedy will happen again there.
People should heed the words of the Lord and NOT build on the sand.
Matthew 7:24-26
KJV
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them
I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not
shall be likened unto a (foolish man), which built his house upon the sand:
I’m confused by the statements, they sound sympathetic but….
You all are making it sound like all of these folks struggling with the events of Ian are here by choice. Not everyone lives on Sanibel. For every one of these folks there are thousands who are North Port residents, Cape Coral residents, Venice residents. You think they all have resort homes? Many of these human beings have inherited their homes, their one and only possession. You think they can just pick up and leave on a whim? The folks on Sanibel and Captiva have the same story in many cases. Pray that events like this never occur to you. Not everyone has a choice in where they live, and if they indeed choose to live here, then more power to them. It’s no different then living on a fault line in Cali, setting up a mobile home in tornado alley, living up and down the eastern seaboard…living in major crime areas. Pick one that places you at risk.
I wish you all the best.
I’m not confused 😳 14 Ft tidal surge TSUNAMI No thank you 😎
@@Rosie05610 yeah Scott, in the event you haven’t followed my personal Florida history…. 18 hurricanes Sanibel,Captiva, Key West, Miami Beach, Orlando , don’t have to drown me twice 🙄 I’m outta here 👍
I know it’s beautiful to live on the ocean. I absolutely love looking out onto a beach. But unless these people can self insure, they probably shouldn’t build on the coast. Maybe Sanibel and Captiva become resort destinations and not inhabited by residents.
I think all coastal areas should be that way. It's just so devastating when they lose everything like that.
People should heed the words of the Lord and NOT build on the sand.
Matthew 7:24-26

This is heartbreaking.
ReddCross generates a ton of money in donations, then they are gone in a few days. Donate to a charity that is far more worthy.
Poor guy. If he says “hopefully we have insurance”, he doesn’t.
Decimate means destroyed by 10%.
No it doesn't, Decimated: kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage or part of.
@@dirk7816 The original meaning of the word was when the Roman's would kill every tenth man when the unit did poorly. Deci means tenth.
They're all saying it, too
@@Islamisthecultofsin you’re 90% correct!
Living threw this and seeing it on TV are definitely two different worlds
I wish there was a team of crafty people to help them fight against these insurance companies..These folks need immediate help not the actions of stalled insurance companies trying their best not to pay these folks..
People that have flood insurance like I do in Florida, good luck. They are horrible, nit picking every little thing wanting receipts? Who has receipts when your roof floods and destroys your ceilings and carpet, then telling you we did that ourselves?? I pray to God the Insurance companies don’t do this to the people of Florida who just got through a major catastrophe. Prayers to everyone involved 😘
insurers are only there to make money.
Pamela Evans so True I pray big lawfirms will come together see things from a humanity side and not profits. Help is majorly needed NOW Insurance companies See humanity right now and not loopholes that will not pay. Let GOD deal with their hearts and help the people now what JESUS spoke of in being kind and helping let it happen here now for the people. Let combined HELP and MIRACLES BE AVAILABLE PRAYING FOR ALL ❤❤❤
Barrier Islands Barricade you don’t build on them. They are constantly restructuring.
Beautiful sunset amongst the wrecked
They need tents..someone get tents and pass them out..with water and food. Insurance won't pay for flood damage which so wrong, the hurricane always brings surge water. The surge water wouldn't have happened without the hurricane. Insurance companies are looking out for their own only.
I live down here. It’s too hot still to sleep in a tent. They need to clear an area off the beach, and set up a bunch of FEMA trailers.
All the Wildlife there Died.....
So Tragic.. Must be eerie , the Silence....
I have always hated insurance companies. House insurance the most. I used to live in FL Insurance was ridiculous even when you were miles from the ocean. So sorry for all affected. Many prayers.
Then self insure if you hate commercial insurers
@Huron Japonica because the insurance policy is a legal contract. It is ver specific. Most of these people did not buy flood insurance. You cant have government change a contract after the fact. Go eat some salmon
Hard to watch, what this must be in Reality I can't even imagine....one word: Heartbreaking😢😢😢😢😢
There isn’t “years of work” bud. There is decades of work.
The people who are returning might want to consider leaving if none of these people are prepared, for other hurricanes to possibly hit where they are now. I think checking the news, for developing hurricanes would be a good idea.
Actually, the Galveston,TX hurricane is the most deadliest hurricane in the United states.
So does Boron or Borax help prevent Mold in those Homes? What do they do, to be allowed to Rebuild in those places?
So tragic... Where is all that Debris Going... Most is not recycled....
Tear down rebuild
@@witnessforjesus6492
That is a lot of waste, if not necessary... Other than the Risk of Structure, For Insurance Companies, Policy Holders, Home Owners, etc... you are talking about $100s of Millions or Billions in Losses...Building Materials are not cheap currently and will increase due to demand in Florida... That is a great place to Invest, for sure...... Though 'real Life', is not always about 'Making Money', even though Markets do not care about Loss.... Besides you are overlooking the obvious, there are thousands, not hundreds, of Deaths.... They are not reporting it, but there were more Deaths in one Neighborhood, than they are Reporting...Those flooded Trailerparks, for example.. There were 100's of Thousands of Homes...... Destroyed, down to the Foundation.... It is far worse than anyone can imagine, unless they see it for themselves..
2nd Deadliest not because of the storm. But because people didn't heed the warning, and the population density in that area. If people heeded the warnings, those who could get out of the way, and if people took living near a coast serious, this would have resulted in less death. Also the cost to the environment, that is what I am curious about, as that is a lasting consequence. Those mangroves won't full recover, many will die. This will lead to more coastal erosion. I saw it with Irma, some mangroves are ok, but many are dead from Irma.
And think of all people have destroyed in this state by development. We have destroyed more than any storm ever has. We have no problem killing other life so we can live anywhere but god forbid the water destroys our homes.
To be fair the NWS was forecasting the storm to hit much further North (near Tampa) and make landfall as a Category 1. True the hurricane hit within the massive 500 mile wide "cone of uncertainty" but it was a STRONG Cat 4 hurricane within 5 mph of being of Cat 5 when it was forecasted for DAYS to weaken into a Cat 1. The difference in destruction between the forecasted hurricane strength and what actually hit is exponentially higher. The forecasts were FAR off and when they "adjusted" the forecasted path 12 hours before landfall it was literally too late for millions lest they be trapped on the roads and highways and drown in their cars.
@@williammathis6044 Actually 36 hours out some of the spaghetti models had the storm tracking over Sanibel. Roughly 48 hours out it had shifted the storm south of Tampa, but north of Venice. At that point anyone from north Naples up to Tampa should have been taking the storm serious.
There are great sources online for models, the NWS is terrible with forecasts. Several models had taken the storm 36 hours out (not the spaghetti models, but a model called the NAM) over north ft myers.
What made this storm track further south was the front in north Florida. Originally the models showed a high pressure nosing down from the north, this is why it was looking to make landfall up near Tampa. However that started to trend south over 48 hours out. Actually the original track was over ft myers, then it trended west then back east. That track was when the storm was south of Jamaica.
People had time, but they listened to the local news. The forecasts by the NHC only show a tiny window into what may happen. While those spaghetti models showed a real threat to all of the west coast of Florida (excluding west of Panama City).
As far as intensity. Yes Cat 1 was forecast when it was up near Tampa. However as time went on a Cat 3 was looking more likely at landfall, then 24 hours out, some models indicated a weak Cat 4. However with many past storms, they can strengthen suddenly when not forecast. Ive seen this with storms offshore, and seen the opposite where a storm never strengthened to what was forecast. People were complacent with this, because "no not me". But everyone on those exposed islands should have been either in or near east Naples or on a highway to Miami. Winds east of Naples were 25-35mph..
@@Hayyyward I agree. There has been a lot of habitat ruined by development. The lawns are not good for the water ways, and all that debris that did get swept out was not good. The implications of that alone in the long term could be worse.
Up in that area of Pine Island, they had some nasty red tide blooms. Red tide is natural, starts offshore. However it is enhanced by the nutrient rich waters flowing out from the outlet of Lake Okeechobee. All the pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers used on grass not native to Florida doesn't help.
Im not a greenie, but working with what is around you, makes it profitable for all.
I hope a lost & found page was started for the residents on the internet.
Praying!
TO WHO??????WAKE UP....NO GOD....ANYWHERE!!!!!!!
All that praying you did prior to the storm did nothing, but you keep at it😂🤡
Sad most of these people will get screwed by there insurance companies.Ask me how I know after hurricane Laura and delta.if you lived in a mobile home they took care of people if you lived in a home on a slab you got screwed as we did.we had 12 insurance companies fold up in Louisiana this year
Everyone going through this at some point somewhere must watch the movie...
"The Southerner" to REALLY come to grips with this...
a poignant old classic that hits home hard on this life changing tragedy!
Be free. Go!
Insurance companies,,quick to take money and quick to deny you coverage!
Most do noy have flood insurance. They have fire and wind because flood insurance isexpensive and they didn't want to pay the high preium
Every insurance company denying to pay should return the money paid to their customers.
Decimated mobile homes make a great backdrop for a hurricane disaster story. It would be interesting to see how modern homes that were built in the last 20+ years. survived Ian. (Florida created the new Florida Building Code after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and required homes to be built high above the ground to withstand coastal storm surge.) Mobile homes, RVs and boats in a hurricane. Not good. Sadly for those who have lived in mobiles for decades (before modern building requirements), won't be building anything like that again. They will have to meet the very stringent new code requirements. Every hurricane that hits Florida, eliminates many of these weak structures from the State. Living anywhere near the 1360 miles of the Coastline in Florida has risks. And Florida is flat and only about 100 miles wide. I know. I live on the coast and have been a resident for 50 years. It is not a matter of if, but when will a hurricane hit your town. You need a strong house high in the air to survive at major hurricane. Wishing a speedy recovery for my fellow Floridians. They have a very long road to travel.
There is No value you can put on a life! Material Belongings can be replaced
2500 people would not have had to be rescued if they had not decided that they knew better than mother nature. You live on a barrier island, evacuate if a hurricane is heading to the coast of your state, anywhere along the coast because Hurricanes can quickly change course and this one was 500 miles across. Never should a mobile home or RV be allowed residency on a barrier reef. If they allow rebuilding the structures need to be raised and concrete block construction.
Storm Surge falls under Flood Insurance. I do not understand why if you live near the coastline you don't carry both. I carry both even tho I live 40m inland in Dade City FL (Flood Zone A).
This 'reporter' should never be allowed to hold a mic or stand in front of camera.. How do you guys acquire all these clowns ??
I thought he did a decent job. Could have tucked his shirt in though.
If people want something through Amazon deliver how are they going to get it if there’s something on their Amazon wishlist?
you cant afford to live in that area. these people were living a fantasy. theyd be better off just leaving the mess there, and moving out. life lesson learned. why do people thoink they can gut out any hurricane when they live in stick houses or trailer parks ? its a total roll of the dice. if you lose, you lose big. no insurer is going to cover this. go back to where katrina hit. much of that is still a disaster and not cleaned up.
Please shower the heavens with prayers for ft myers
The American flag still stands
So Hurricane Ian flattened more structures flattened the city more than the other hurricanes ? We lived in Saint Petersburg / Kenneth city Florida we got very lucky but so sorry for those who got hit hard , we’re praying for you 🙏
Unfortunately they need to start rezoning these barrier islands and moving people off them, or let them stay at their own financial peril. By the end of the century 70% of Florida will be a sandbar with the ruined cities sticking out at low tide. In another 20 - 30 years at best most of it will uninhabitable unless your ok living in a house that gets submerged every 3 to 10 years till the big one hits you.
if you pay the vig what business is it of yours whete they live.
THEY pay the premiums .
its call risk management.
@@VicTor-gi7so In English please..
I agree. Building on "barrier islands" should tell you something. They should be just beaches with a few Tiki huts. Not places to build homes, or park mobile homes, and RVs on. So why did this happen? Greed. Developers in cahoots with County Officials (or one in the same person) that allowed this to happen. Its been like this for 100+ years. It is not just Florida. Any coastal town. And then there is New Orleans, built "Below Sea-level"? Hmmm. When a natural disaster hits everyone is surprised at the damage.
Global warming is a scam. All of the fraudsters need to be fired and arrested.
@@Happy-Trails-To-You I couldn't agree more.
Let's face it, they will never recover...
I suppose stilts could be utilized like they do in La.
decimate: From Latin decimare "to take the tenth (decimus) part of anything"
I am really hating the media,,,, Tell us something we don't know
It is no secret that the whole population from TAMPA south to CHOKOLOSKI Took
Mother Nature for granted .
its dumb to eff with mother nature. she wins every time. every time. you need to move unless you are super rich and can afford to rebuild on your own dime.
It’s no secret you don’t know what you’re talking about
Why are we not getting a death count?
its in the thousands and mid terms are very near. do the math. a ton of people did not evacuate. first responders initially leaked that bodies were floating everywhere. biden went down there to muzzle and silence all the news media and rescue crews.
In my safe and secure apartment in Chicago wanting to move to Florida means where is it safe.?
These people where living on the beach at sea level, if you move here you buy a house that is not in any type of flood zone.
NO Where..We don't need anymore yankees moving in..Florida is FULL and it has hurricanes almost yearly.. Did I mention sink holes..
So far thank God my aunt, uncle and cousins last 30 years safe in Silver Springs and Ocala. Praying it stays that way for them.
Sandbars are natural occurrences, whereas, building on a sandbar is not natural but ignorant.
As tragic as this is to see, people should heed the words of
the Lord Jesus Christ who said to NOT build on the sand.
Matthew 7:24-26
King James Version
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and
doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded
upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
house upon the sand: EVERYTHING written in the Bible is written
for the benefit of mankind, not against man. It is about time
that all mankind heeds the warnings of GOD.
Mi pregunta es , el gobierno podría ayudar a la limpieza de ese estado ?? Con el ejército , es mucho trabajo para los civiles !! 🥺
what a nightmare
Please show the process they use to remove those giant boats.
Cranes and lifts. Same way they lift them when they get placed in dry dock.
Humans base their worth on material possessions. They think they are on top of the world and better than others based on those possessions. The universe does not care about mankind's earthy possessions. You are correct lady while mankind may discriminate the, universe does not.
Don't give anything to the red cross.
FEMA and what President said go to hotel they will help the ones ft.Myers’s and others , there’s and will be help day by day , uall need to rest to think day by day
So scary to picture surging water breaking into homes, taking everything inside the homes away………..
These sences are reminiscent of the Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
I remember, also, that DeSantis and Rubio voted against FEMA Relief for those suffering from that powerful storm.
I hope The Senators from New York and New Jersey will return the favor by blocking, and or delaying, FEMA Relief to Florida.
Make america great again 👍
"Hopefully we have insurance." Huh?? You mean, you don't know?? Unbelievable. You live in a hurricane zone. When you sign up for insurance or renew, you gotta know. 😲 smh
Insurance companies are denying people. I think he means that he doesn’t know if his claim is going to go thru. Probably misspoke because he sounds like he’s in shock.
Judgement is not needed, prayers are. Glory to God.
@@fiercetigerkity People here in Florida buy hurricane insurance but that only covers the wind damage, only 18% of these people had federal flood insurance which would have only cost them an extra 50-75 bucks a month, so they will now only receive around 30k from FEMA.
Ridiculous
If no flood ins they have none they will be denied sad but that's how the work
These people need to get out of Florida. Find pretty sunsets elsewhere. If not, don't complain about the snakes in your toilet.
Where is Bezos and Musk with a couple billion dollars aid for these fellow Americans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The billions we just sent to Ukraine would have come in handy now to help rebuild this town
Ukraine got very little, it is most likely in off shore accounts, or will be. The politicians need to be arrested.
No the people of Ukraine need the help, they didn't ask for war to come
upon them. These people KNOW that they built a house where they had
no rights doing.

So America do we still believe there's a God up there that cares about every one of us and wouldn't want to hurt anyone of us and loves us all the same and always gets all the glory when one thing goes right... but when things go wrong... where is he????
John 10:10, " The thief comes not but for to steal, kill and destroy. I (Jesus), am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly."
Do not credit acts of the Destroyer to God. Only in final acts of wrath does God destroy evil (Sodom & Gomorrah, the Great Flood) His people, those who obey His laws and worship Him and His Son, Jesus, are not appointed to wrath. 1 Thessalonians 5:9
Revelation 20:8-10, Gog and Magog, are destroyed. Satan, the beast and the false prophet are cast into the Lake of Fire forever.
Absolutely God is and was in the storm or else more lives would have been lost. The Bible says not to build your house upon the sand but to build it on the rock! Some people don't know the Lord and don't pray or acknowledge Him but are expecting to be safe during disasters. Psalm 91 says he who abides in the secret place of the Most High shall rest in the shadow of the Almighty. God was waiting for some of these people to call on him but I'm sure they didn't because it's not their habit to do so. Don't blame God just praise him in the storm 🙏. God is our refuge and strength, a ever present help in times of need... for them that worship and acknowledge Him.
My brother drowned two years ago. God could have chose to bring him out of a coma but the microarray of all miracles is he’s in heaven with Jesus with our mom who passed ten months later. God is merciful and compassionate in our suffering. He can sympathize with the feeling of our infirmities because Jesus died for every one of us, Gods only son and rose from the dead. I couldn’t imagine going through life’s hardships without him.
HE is still where He has always been. These are the judgements from God when a nation rejects His commandments. Stay tuned, more to come.
As one who moved away from this area due to the over crowded.
