      News 6 is the Ft Myers NBC affiliate. Like their CBS counterpart WINK news they keep all stories to under 3 minutes and generally don't include details. Like where a robbery took place. Their audience likes it's news short, scary and stupid. So they would show 10 seconds of this.
      IE: market forces.

    All the more serious when you realize that the private insurance industry in FL has collapsed and that means much of the damage you see here, if not all of it, is not covered by any insurance. We are seeing literal billions of dollars in property damage across the state of FL today.

      Is most of this near the water covered federally? I mean the permanent structures built on sand bars?

My heart is sure with everyone there.

We used to live in S. FL, but moved back to NC where I'm from originally. My daughter just moved back here from S. FL last month, now 24, & I'm so grateful! I had a very bad feeling about FL bc it's been due for another big one, & i had begged her to come back home! I'm forever grateful that she did! I also know, however, that ppl in FL are resilient, & preparing there is a routine part of hurricane season. Many ppl, tho, have hunkered down in the past & rode them out. Doesn't look good for anyone who chose to do that! God is in control, & I pray for His Mercy & intervention🙏

    Why build permanent structures on what is essentially a sand bar? I don't understand Florida, sometimes. This view from the sky with awesome commentary, incidentally, really cements my inner stance on the logic of living on such low elevations by the Atlantic ocean, which allows these storms to gain speed for long distances before finally hitting: a sandbar. There's even a saying about building on sand
    "The house that is built upon the sand will crumble at the first sign of a windstorm." -RC Sproul
