Thank you for making this video .Even as I weep for the loss of beautiful Sanibel Island at this moment and know in my lifetime it will never be the same, I have much hope for it coming back to the sweet and lovely escape from the world that it is.
It's time water front houses on the beach face the truth when it comes to climate change. Build the houses with an 8' concrete 1st floor. All mechanical and living space starts on the 2nd floor. Dredge and build dunes that withstand a 12' storm surge. The days are over for easy, cheap living in Florida. Costal locals will soon be for the uber rich.
There is no escape.
I heard something about a 21 foot requirement, which seems like a lot. I'm not real optimistic about the survival of man-made sand dunes.
Yeah, that climate change was really something to worry about in 1644,1780, 1775,1775,1825,1900 when just some of the strongest recorded Hurricanes hit the southern Florida area, GFY...
My heart goes out to all the small business owners & workers, the people who rented properties and for the wildlife and palm trees 🌴 that seemed to be decimated. The wealthy can and will rebuild so let the relief monies go to the less fortunate first. 🙏🏼❤️
That would be nice.
I grew up in Florida in the 60’s and 70’s and Sanibel was my summer playground. This is so heartbreaking but I know the resilience of Floridians is fierce though rebuilding will be slow it will happen! ❤
It will happen.
Thanks for sharing the video. I especially appreciate seeing the beautiful shoreline about 30 mins in.
The man made things did not have a good day and the loss of lives is deeply saddening.
In the big picture, it was an ordinary day at the office for Mother Nature. She gave her beaches a hard scrubbing!
When we build in places like the islands, it is usually because we love the beauty of nature. Storms are part of nature.
As harsh at it may seem, natural environments need this kind of rejuvenation from time to time.
Ian won’t be our last hurricane. Let’s take care to build in a responsible way that respects Mother Natures fragility and awesome power.
And when it is time to evacuate, please, please, please leave the area so no one is hurt while she does her beautiful work.
The only issue with your reasoning is Mother Nature would typically be helping the wildlife during these events by thinning the herd…but we humans have already done that. I weep for our gopher tortoises and everything else that drowned all across the entire state. Nature is losing the battle against humans. The wildlife can’t take this sort of beating, not with us around as well. I fear this has only accelerated the demise of endangered species.
@Tyler Edwards
I could not agree more.
I always loved walking the beach after a storm growing up.
Agreed
Was just there at spring break. It was so lush and green. Sanibel/Captiva will rise again!
YES
Thanks for sharing. It’s amazing anything is still standing. I see the bubble room.
The Bubble Room was our Favorite Restaurant so many Memories 😋
It seemed to do okay. I suspect they had water damage, which is not a trivial problem.
Looking so much better in such a short time. Bravo... I'm not underestimating the amount of work still needed but the amount of work accomplished to date is awe inspiring.
Continued prayers
Thanks!
Thank you for the video. Seems everyone that does these always focuses so hard on the Bubble Room. Andy Rosse Lane is something nobody is showing much of. RC Otters and Mucky Duck. Don't sleep on those locations people!
(that, and I overexposed that part, lol)
Love all the restaurants on this street. And so many on Sanibel too. So sad The Island Cow was already at a loss due to a recent fire. And now Ian!
My parents lived on Captiva Island from the early 80's til 2012, I'm in shock, my heart goes out to all the residents and workers 💔 they will recover !!
Were they year round there on Captiva?
I went there with my mom and dad years ago. Thankful for those memories
good memories are a blessing
God bless all the people affected by this and what they still have to endure 😓 ❤
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏😓
Thank you
Thank you for doing this video. My parents bought a condo on Sanibel in the late 1970’s as a rental and then bought a house on Oster Ct. in Sunset Captiva. I have incredible memories of all the years we spent there. We sold both properties when we moved to Calif. Do you know how the neighborhood of Sunset Captiva held up and also the Chapel by the Sea? I am heartbroken to see all the devastation… Praying for all the homeowners, residents, wildlife and business owners. Praying that these two islands of paradise can be restored. I was planning to bring my family, children and grandchildren to vacation at my favorite place on earth❤. Hopefully, I still can…..
You are welcome.
Thank you for showing this video my heart is breaking for all these beautiful towns and for the loss of people and all these damage its done God bless everyone and God bless you for showing this video
Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.
Almost all of the vegetation is brown and dead, very eerie looking.
Still - it is hard to feel depressed with the awesome sunlight :)
wetlands are valuable and should never have been destroyed for ugly houses
Wetlands are vital.
The thing that strikes me the most is how brown everything is. The saltwater and wind killed everything!
Not all is dead
@@ChrisandNancyTravel that is encouraging and Ive heard trees are budding.
Thank yall much for sharing. If I hadn't driven that route sooo many times, I wouldn't have known where you were at. Most of those homes, of course, I have not ever seen as there was so much beautiful, lush, tropical green plant life making them hidden to dream and wonder like in a storybook of what lay behind. I pray all is well for all and that they will continue their stories for generations to come as I intend to do. I live in Fort Myers and can't imagine ever living anywhere else again for I have found Lee County and all the beauty it holds to be my forever home.
Lee county is great. After seeing the traffic lately, I can see why the bumper sticker in Vermont said to out of staters, it is beautiful, you've seen it, no go home. (NOT to you Sonyia, but to the carpet baggers :)
@@ChrisandNancyTravel I think the increased traffic may be workers from out of state trying to get things going as quickly as possible. There's also alot of beach workers, fisherman and I could go on and on but I think that's alot of the heavy traffic. It's not funny but it is funny when I think of someone coming here right now and following street signs and so forth to get around and unless you already know, you'll be lost VERY easy. Lol! We still don't have all of them up or pointing in the right direction from Irma.
I have a WHOLE lot more memories to make here. I've got Great Grandkids and Grandkids of course and I plan on filling the rest of my life up with memories of them all. The ones I have are sooo precious.......
@@sonyiachastain7723 Street signs are a mess:)
My family has been vacationing on Captiva for 30 years. It is heartbreaking to see the devastation Ian has wrought, but residents are clearly determined to restore their paradise. I weep for the ospreys who lost their nests, the owls, their habitats (though the roads are safer to fly across these days), the manatee their inlets, and the pelicans, cranes, herons and spoonbills who were undoubtedly lost. I was heartened to see The Green Flash being used as a centre for relief work; that means it must have survived in good shape. It is the best restaurant on the island. I pray for Captiva’s speedy recovery, for the residents, business owners, and non-resident employees, for whom Captiva was their home, their livelihood, and their life.
Thank you for your prayers.
My grandma lived on Captiva before the causeway. We would have to take a ferry boat across and it stopped service at 6:00pm. If you didn’t make the ferry you would be spending the night at grandmas
Doesn't sound too bad at all.
Wow! What a GORGEOUS blue sky!!
There is that :)
Lyceum I love that you look for the positive things!
Mother Natures always prevails. I have lived on Sanibel (Gumbo Limbo - which I LOVE). and my family is from Panama City (Hurrican Mikeal Cat 5 - Oct 16, 2018). I've weathered super-typhoons on Oki and the Floods in Montana and YNP this past fall. Many of my family lost their homes and not on the coast, miles and miles inland. Over the last 62 years, I have always been astounded by the fact that people build multi-million $$ mega-homes feet from the gulf (only for the ulta rich) and act shocked when Mother Nature does her thing. People in PC including my family thought it was all over. But as Mother Nature destroys she then renews. I have a very special place in my heart for Sanibel but I think it's time for barrier Islands on coast stop building 10-60 millioin dollar home on the water. (check the prices on Port Royals, Naples) The little man's tax dollards subsidizes the insurance companies, not to mention the Billions spent by FEMA. $$ may prevail win the battle but Mother Nature wins the war.
Good thoughts.
Thank you for posting! As sad as it is to see these images I know the Islands will eventually recover.
I hope so too. There might be a story about where all this debris is going, how long it might take to remove it, and what happens to it when it gets where ever it is going.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel Yes I believe some of it is going in Fort Myers or North Fort Myers and some residents aren’t happy. Don’t quote me on that, however. There’s a guy that posts things daily and I can’t remember his name but I’ll look it up again.
Seeing the devastation here there is no mistaking that no matter how you prepare, there is no stopping Mother Nature.
humbling
Thanks for doing this. My mother lives on Sanibel. And also, my brother lives there and has a business (Suncatchers Dream). I cry every time I see the devastation. It will take decades for it to be the same...
It might never be the same, but that is true of most everything. Still - the trees are starting to come back, the homes repaired.
I live in Fort Myers and worked on the islands for a few years. I don’t even recognize anything. Wow. This is worse than I thought
It is a LOT of damage.
I’m devastated!
It is a lot.
Mother Nature made her message loud and clear!
What? If you live in a tropical coastal area you have a chance of a hurricane? Like it has been since the beginning of time?
It was a tremendous storm.
It is interesting to look back, for instance the Labor Day Hurricane of 1930's.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel WHY is looking back "interesting" to you?
@Ed Havonetz because history is a teacher. If we don’t look back and pay attention, we will be ignorant. Then, because of our ignorance, we will be destined to repeat the same mistakes over and over and over.
Other times, it is interesting to look back simply for the joy of knowing- whether we decide to leverage that information or not.
History gives perspective.
Does that help?
It is unrecognizable, so sad. Wow, how the mighty forces of nature can create such destruction.
I'm glad to be out of the surge.
We rebuild
Wish the music would move past doom…I live in Florida, since 1960. Let’s get on and move forward.
That would be demeaning to the owners of these houses. They will move forward at the right time for them. Grief is a normal processing following this type of disaster. It has only been 30 days.
Sorry - I prolly could have found some other music.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel No, it’s fine.,it was nice to have something soothing whilenseeing such devastation
Prayers to All ❤️
Thank you.
Mother nature.... We need to listen
yes
Wash, rinse, repeat. Anyone who rebuilds can expect another event like this, and even higher insurance premiums for every American. It's heartbreaking for these folks, but the burden of their choices fall on us all. Thank goodness for kind volunteers, clean-up programs, social services and honest insurance companies. let's hope the affected folks get the help they need, and make good choices. For those without insurance, because it has become unaffordable - praying for you. What a disaster...
Many cannot afford flood insurance.
Thanks for sharing! This is the first I've finally seen Periwinkle Place...one of my favorite places in the world! Any updates on the shops?
Very few opened last visit there. Jerry's. A restaurant on Captiva.
Breaks my heart
It is sad. Some of cute names of locations suggest that Captiva was seen as a care-free refuge.
This is for all my fellow nature-loving tree-huggers out there. Here’s a fun fact- did you know that a whopping 67% of Sanibel is dedicated for wildlife conservation?!
I am very grateful for the foresight of folks like Ding Darling and the continued efforts of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation, Friends of Ding, and all the other organizations that keep the dream alive!
I can only imagine the work going on right now behind the scenes to give Mother Nature a helping hand on the bay side of the islands.
For the workers and volunteers on that effort- THANK YOU!!!
I can hardly wait to poke around in the mangroves and see all the little critters again.
Hopefully the birds were able to hunker down.
So very sad.😢❤❤❤❤
Yes. Sadly, storms in future might be worse.
From the sky Sanibel is just brown.
The mounds of sand are a testament to how strong the surge was.
It is starting to green again.
Thank you for posting this video. I subscribed to your channel. My now husband and I stayed on Captiva and got married on Sanibel in June (June 8th) to be exact.
Right after a tropical storm both sides of the road in Sanibel were filled with water then.
Im almost positive I saw where we stayed on Captiva (17170 Captiva Drive), and we got married at Casa Ybel.
So far all I know about Casa Ybel is what it says on their website which is closed until further notice.
Im not to the end of your video so maybe its there.
Hi Sammie - I've seen some statements from San/Cap people that the 2022 winter season won't be happening this year. It is sad when a piece of one's personal history appears to be lost. Hopefully, your Casa Ybel will arise from the ashes.
I'm just devasted at the destruction. My prayers and hopes and well wishes to all who live and work on Sanibel and Captiva!
thank you
@@ChrisandNancyTravel You are more than welcome. We love Captiva and Sanibel... for over 22 years we've vacationed there. I hope and pray that you can rebuild. First, for the residents and workers, with whom we have many friends; and second, that those of us who support the Island as we vacation, can continue to enjoy the paradise that is there. You'll be back.
Nice video showcasing the aftermath
Thanks
Thank you
My ibew brothers got them powerlines up quick💪💪
There has been a veritable army of linemen. Amazing. Saw them Wednesday hooking up a lift pump near a friends place.
It is sad to see the damage, but thank you for posting
:)
Heartbreaking 💔 😢
Thank you.
thanks for the video is our vac destination for 20 years ,we are praying 🙏 for you all
Thank you for your prayers.
There is a great music
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, so sad to see beautiful sanibel in such terrible state. Are the beaches safe?
Funny - growing up along a beach, safe is never what I thought of for a beach. Oyster beds, jelly fish, rip-tides, cars sinking into the sand, bottle caps, broken glass..... But, is there still some sand and water? Yes, there is!
Great progress being made! How long does it take for all that vegetation to turn green again? When we lost our palms to a freeze it took three years. Hopefully less time after surge.
It was a very strong storm.
@Serenity Peace - Hi! The native vegetation won’t suffer too much. The browning you see on the palms is mostly from windburn. If the palm tree didn’t lose its crown, new growth will pop out in a short time. They are built for sand and salt!
The landscaping that depends on fresh water irrigation is a different story. I am surprised how much green grass is still there - visible on the arial shots.
We are in our dry season now, but one good rainy summer will make a world of difference. :)
I lived on Sanibel during the bad red tide outbreak in 2018 and got so sick I almost died and 4 years later I still have numerous health issues.
I hear it is coming again now. Also Vibrio bacteria in the water. Better to steer clear for a time.
@@ChrisandNancyTravelThanks but I've moved a ways inland.couldn't go threw that again.
Great sadness 🙏
I am sorry.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel thanks hope you are well, so thankful my daughter and grandson survived ( they live in Fort Myers ) they were lucky to have been in a home that had a 2nd floor where they rode out Ian in a walk-in closet 🙏 their bottom floor flooded and walls have already been torn down to replace to prevent mold no kitchen for weeks but they are alive and well ❤️🙏
Thank you for the video. Do you know anything about the Sea Shell Museum?
The building looked intact.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel Thank you for the reply. My family was planning to visit Sanibel next year. It just breaks my heart all that everyone has lost there. Many prayers for you all.
Thank you for posting this video I use to live in Cape Coral Florida and I use to be out on Sanibel and Captiva all the time this is so heartbreaking
You are welcome.
I lost my beloved husband a year ago. Sanibel was our favorite place in the whole world. It’s a special magical place. He would be so sad to know what happened.😢
There is a happy thought: is there a Sanibel in heaven? without afternoon traffic?
Is there another video like this of the rest of Sanibel? I'm curious whether The Island Cow can still be repaired after fire and now Ian?
Yes, Beth. Here are two more: ruclips.net/video/GFpWW7-0N-s/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/uy1KoBiTwSs/видео.html
Thank you for sharing. Looks like there are a lot of hard workers helping to restore it - I will look forward to returning one day. My thoughts and prayers are with all who own property on the island. I also hope Ding Darling will be able to return to what it once was.
It's obvious to me that I would rather drive to the beach then to be on it when things get scary , best wishes people's, 💝🏖
Saw videos of Daytona last night. Wouldn't want to have been driving on that beach then.
I'll be going back next year for a vacation, I hope it's fixed by then:)
Not sure what I can say to that.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel yeah nvm me and my family changed our mind, it may not be fixed by then.
Was the island totally flooded? Hard to grasp how some structures appear to have survived reasonably well versus others tgat were a total loss. Water damages are another issue. The plant life was ravaged. So very tragic. Wonder how many will rebuild? What do they do with all the debris?
I don't think the whole island was flooded. Just saw a vid elsewhere of storm surge approaching.. until camera was lost.
Used to be such a quaint, beautiful island.....sadly, used to be. Tragic.
It will come back. Sadly, some of the single family homes of older retirees might not.
Thank you for sharing; it is my hope that these people will not be forgotten now that the news crews have left and moved on. Tremendously appropriate soundtrack to the video: Who is the artist (or artists) ? Very fitting, IMHO.
Fluidscape by Kevin MacLeod
@@ChrisandNancyTravel Thank you.
Unrecognizable 😢. Did I miss Andy Rosse Lane? I did not see it in the video. Mucky Duck? Etc..
I think it is there (no sign post), near the Royal Shell.
Is this about Bailey's grocery store?
Not sure where Bailey's is? On or near Captiva?
Mitchell's Sandcastles?
I think that might be reflected in the Sanibel Two bill video with views to the south and west of W. Golf Dr. Or maybe it was this video?
@@ChrisandNancyTravel Thank you. Mitchell's had many great memories for my family.
How many people in the northern states have RV’s just sitting in their driveways not being used? There should be a program set up to coordinate RV donations for temporary housing.
Good idea
Looks like a deserted island...is anyone working?
It was a Sunday, but yes, many working on line repairs. Those hauling debris looked tired. A restaurant was open, and Jerry's was open.
Still hoping for some views of the dunes...
ruclips.net/video/qCQ5MSljotI/видео.html
@@ChrisandNancyTravel I saw that video, that is captive, the dunes are off Bailey road when you first come on the island. Thank you though, the captive video showed that the entire island was hammered.
Noticed power lines already!
Yes - intersting: they seem to be running cable lines across trees (internet, I assume)
Not everything was damaged or destroyed and what can be salvaged will be... #Islandstrong
True!
This is absolutely horrible, grew up going down to the area, and have family living down there also. The island natives took a very big blow but they will rebuild because that is home
Sadly, many locals can't afford to rebuild.
Paradise Lost 💔 Now mile after mile of brown, dead, trashy devastation. It will take decades, if ever to come back. Hopefully, elected officials will come through for the residents & businesses. The economy will be dead down there for a while.
I think I heard that the 2022-23 winter season will be a bust. The destruction, lack of complete infrastructure, and now, the water quality (bacteria infecting people in the water) issues are real concerns.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel Heartbreaking 💔 Your video is the most comprehensive post hurricane review of the entire area. Thank you.
42:15 The Island Cow
Oh.
Far worse than Charlie, omg… when they start accepting all of us back on the island we as Floridians will be the first ones to support the local mom and pop shop buisness.❤😢❤😊
Wouldn't surprise me if it soon. A few places to eat open now, and Jerrys.
Well, my home is currently uninhabitable. It'll come back, but due to regulations, my nice humble paid free and clear home might not, because I am but a retired 40 years teacher. My pension and SS can't cut the expense. So bye bye Sanibel, destined for rich only.
I am sorry for your loss.
This place was not mentioned to live expensive homes ..it's man made
Poorer homes also destroyed.
Sorry. I have been there to exactly what they are showing. It was horrible, but this video was not recent
Not sure what you are saying.Video was shot 10/30/2022
Now us people who live in inland have to pY for your homes..B/S...that's that say rich get riches.poor get poorer
Even many inland got clobbered. The question is valid when you look at the fortunes spent putting sand back on beaches. Given the tendency for the waves to just move it again, it seems a short sighted investment of public funds.
А чего такой срач, почему людей не видно?
Посещение ограничено до тех пор, пока инфраструктура не будет восстановлена.
@@ChrisandNancyTravel а, я понял, это после урагана или типа того?
да
So sad, looks like a nuclear bomb went off
Parts of it remind me of the TV images of Syria.
Not made to build big expensive homes..
Cheaper homes also destroyed. Matthew 5:45
Music so not needed
Funny - comments with both likes on the music and dislikes. Other vids in the series got only likes. I switched pieces to avoid repetition, so there is that.
😪
Thank you.
I worked at Capt'n Al's, KingsCrown and Uncle Bob's, from 1992 till 2003. I revisited Southseas just a few years ago and was shocked how well the Island had recovered from Charlie, I really hate to see it like this AGAIN, but it will recover, just takes time.
It's good to have perspective on these events.
