Yes, some heartbreaking stories but my daughter who is still on the island tells so many stories of how people are coming together. No fear no panic. Just neighbors helping neighbors.
I responded to a comment of a lady who said her and everyone she knew were staying on Pine Island. I told her it's best if she left. I haven't heard anything back from her. 🤷🏻♂️😳
The major problem that many who wish to rebuild their existing structures is that which they dont currently see. mold. Those properties are a loss, restorations of existing structures is the last thing you want to do. Its storm water damage, dirty water at that, water that got into everywhere either directly or via extreme moisture, only to be left in the open for months. Mold can kill. and certainly can impair. Unfortunate. the only way forward is to erase all that remains and start a new. Its the only way to be sure of new sound structures and those built to higher standards.
Never felt stranded,,,not once did I ever think of leaving. Never felt trapped. Pine island was never meant for everyone. It was a escape from the rat race. I welcome 1975 back. With the road washed out it was nice and quiet with just the hard core people left.
WHAT A TRAGEDY FOR SURE! MY HEARTS GO OUT TO EVERYONE..I live in Ct and was looking to move to Orange county or Lee county in the Spring..I am now rethinking this decission..MY QUESTTION>>>> how do you even clean up after something like this? Where does all the wood and furniture go? What about the cement? What is done with it? what do they do with all the boats? my mind is boggled! thank you and God Bless everyone including all the rescuers xo
These are valid and important questions and I wish that these types of things would be answered. They just say the obvious over and over, I want to know how, who, what next.
The cleanup will happen, slowly but surely. If you are working age, I wouldn't leave CT. Wages are much lower here and business is seasonal. It will be impacted economically in many ways now.
Don’t justify Poetic be Stoic with a response. What was said is simply hateful, a different Avenue of getting any kind of attention possible…truly pathetic! Meanwhile, to answer your questions somewhat… a lot will be removed by the owners, if they’re still alive. Anything under the mud, that isn’t found by cadaver dogs, will literally stay “buried.” I witnessed this after Hurricane Katrina, when I asked the question,” Why is the ground so spongey?” Everything under the ground stays there. Above ground, sometimes volunteers help to load large containers with debris. Sometimes people are found IN the debris, still alive. Many insurance carriers drop their clients to avoid losses, or state they don’t cover “natural disasters.” Definitely a tragedy when people lose everything they have. Even more tragic when the shelters are too full, and they have absolutely nowhere to go. Promises for provisions to be supplied are broken. That’s where mental health issues establish themselves. The only True power is when perceived miracles occur, and hearts are strengthened to resolve to do whatever they possibly can.
you are wise to move, sea level is rising faster than ever before, 95% of Florida will be permanently under water by 2100, pick somewhere with good access to drinking water, at least 50 ft above current sea levels. sorry but im calling out the elephant in the room as nobody else has the courage to do so, good luck with your move.
Some geography info. Matlacha is NOT Pine Island nor is it on Pine Island. Matlacha is zip code 33993. At the west end of Matlacha is where Little Pine Island starts. Little Pine Island is a wildlife area with no structures. Little Pine Island is also zip code 33993. Then 3 more miles west through Little Pine Island is finally Pine Island with zip code 33956. Matlacha has about 500 homes. Pine Island has about 5,000 homes. St. James city(2000 homes) is at the south end of Pine Island and it was the next target after the surge took out the Sanibel Causeway. There have been no aerial pictures of St. James City. Nor of anywhere else on Pine Island. There are a few pictures taken from people at the north end of St. James City. Does the south end still exist? Does my house still exist? Does the concrete slab even exist? Does San Carlos Rd. still exist?
There was a woman visiting a friend? Her hosts must have thought their billion dollar home would be a really fun place to watch the show- otherwise, why the heck would they be entertaining during a hurricane? I feel horrible for those who had no where to go or no money to stay in a hotel, but those that stayed because they wanted to? They should be rescued last, in my opinion. I saw the Florida Everglades as a little girl. They no longer exist because they were "developed." The flora and fauna were removed and covered in pavement and lawns. The trees are gone. So are the coral reefs. Only debris remains now--unntil they rebuild, since they can't seem to take a hint.
When insurance companies hand out checks real quick they often get you to sign that it covers everything and you will have no more claim. Then a few weeks later you realize you had a lot more loss than what you figured on the day after the loss. Be careful what you sign in the first few weeks. Get the claim started then wait a few months to get everything documented before you settle.

traped?! TV was warning about IAN for a few days, why haven't they left the island BEFORE it happened? good thing out of this, employment!!! on reconstruction!!!
this sense of isolation is a function of cell phone dependence. 150 years ago people saw each other once a month or so. being out of touch for 5 days is a first world trouble
My Dad grew up on Estero Island aka Fort Myers Beach. I did too for much of my childhood. We lived on Bahia Via. On the Bayside on a canal. We would walk to the beach down to the Outrigger hotel and that would be our base for a while. Ah the colored night time tavern lights of Estero Island in the mid nineties during winter! Clear stars all season. We are still without power and we can’t shower with the water at this point. We’ve been taking bottled water bowl showers and they actually do get you fully clean as long as you use soap. Ian beat the hell out of us on the fourth floor of a condominium directly off of 41. It beat us from the crack of dawn (I was wide awake) until long after night had fallen. Come 9 am we were slammed viciously. Windows blew out. Water came leaking from the floor above. Water came pouring directly out of our circuit breaker. My good friend lost his entire house and all his possessions. We were so blessed throughout the entire event. Somehow God has brought great good out of this terrible storm. Our kids have been reborn. They are so encouraged and enthusiastic I think because all the new human interaction and seeing us helping neighbors and neighbors helping us. My seven year old son said that the day after the hurricane a day with no power and no water was the best day of his life. And he meant it completely. After seeing this change I think that daily tv etc. is very extremely unhealthy for children and young adults. And for adults as well. But especially for children. They need a way OUT. The world is now darkening with threat of nuclear war and world war. But The Lord and Source of all spirits aka GOD blesses amazingly and impossibly especially in the Trial! Ian means: “GOD is Gracious” supposedly. We were praying for God’s Mercy the entire day of the storm. I love hurricanes. I love storms better than clear days most of the time. But I hate tragedy and when people die early before their time. And this storm was incredibly expensive costing even many lives. Nothing more expensive than a human soul. Nothing. A soul is worth more than the entire physical planet. One single soul. One random soul. An average soul. The world has now been filled with absolute lies which have now polluted and bound the minds of millions of unsuspecting victims. The lies of the devil are real. And when one lie fails it upholds another lie. And these lies KILL and abuse and war against mankind. These lies break hearts. And bind minds. And they do in fact KILL. The devil is an angel spirit of the air and he still has access to heaven during certain times. To accuse people and to argue with GOD. Spirits certainly and absolutely exist. I have seen spirits of all kinds. I used to practice witchcraft and I was also an addict and a drug dealer. A thief and a liar and a hypocrite I absolutely was. But I did not know about the hypocrisy until GOD opened my eyes and let me legit see clear. And The webs of lies are more complex and intricate than I ever dared imagine before I finally saw them up close. GOD foretold climate change. But truth be told it’s not merely the climate that’s changing it’s the entire planet and the whole universe itself simultaneously. The sun is storming like never before and that’s not from air pollution. And neither are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions which begin miles underground far from all atmospheric pollution. This is obvious. Any idiot should see it clear as Day. GOD foretold literally every thing that is happening now. From global viruses to “climate change” to globalization itself. He foretold everything in His Book the Bible. Israel’s return after centuries of exile in Northern Europe etc. Israel is an massive anomaly considering they are the First Country to come back to life after two thousand long years of hateful exile and persecution. Israel’s return alone is proof that GOD is real and the Book is true. Because GOD said that He would bring Israel back “to the land of their fathers” and also that He would raise up and exalt the Nation into existence “In one day” as the Prophet said. And on May 14, 1948 that Day came to pass and Israel rose again from the ashes of great and terrible evil against them. I am no better than anyone. (This is my beautiful wife’s old account before she took my name and we got married.) I have been through hell on earth. Me and my wife both have. Together. Perhaps that’s why our union our marriage RULES! We are more crazy about each other than the first date. But GOD did all this. Not me. So blessed be the Name of the Lord for His Mercy endureth forever! A warning though: to refuse God is to refuse all GOOD THINGS forever. God allows bad things to happen so that in our inevitable pain and torment we might turn back and seek His Spiritual Strength and His Love and His HELP which is priceless. More than any money can buy. For God sends us the Ultimate Gift of immortality in His Spirit His Holy Spirit. These are the nine qualities or aspects of His Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control these are the Fruit of the Holy Spirit (The Ruach Hakodesh.) of GOD Himself. And by God I mean the Creator of all things seen and unseen. Those aspects of the Spirit can never be obtained in their fullness by any man or woman unless they seek and know GOD. There is no immortality outside of His Purpose and His Will. These mainstream political “scientists” are absolutely laughable in their sheer vanity and idiotic pride. Let them pretend to be little gods and preeminent immortals. They are NOT. They shall die. Their bodies shall die no matter what physics they implement inside their own bodies. Let them play like fools. It means nothing but that we are nearing the End. The Lord will show Himself as HE IS. For His Name is “I AM” in Hebrew “YAHVEH” or “YHVH”. And no soul can escape out of His Hand. Let us not continue in open rebellion against the Holy One! Not against the Holy God. For our God is not some idiotic cartoon old man with a beard in the sky! No! He is a Consuming FIRE 🔥 complete with Lightnings and Thunderings and Voices coming from His Throne. Surrounded by Emerald Rainbows 🌈. And as if He was made of Gems. This Spirit is the Original Spirit that all other spirits came out from. Respect Him or find hell by default. Inevitably.

Heat waves, droughts, fires and heavy rains that cause severe flooding have become more frequent in many parts of the world due to climate change, which affects the entire worldwide population. The Earth is facing a “triple planetary crisis,” warn UN officials. Climate disruption, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste are the main areas of concern regarding the current state of the environment. This year, the Earth Day’s theme is “Invest In Our Planet,” so what would humanity's best investment for the planet be? We need to start by cleaning up the planet. There is no place on Earth where the air and water are clean, and that's a real problem. In theory, tackling this issue should be our priority when it comes to taking action to improve the dismal state of our planet. But let’s not fool ourselves. Such a plan alone will solve nothing. It will only help the international organizations to justify their own existence. They tick off "done" to raise as much money as they want, and that's it. If we do not improve relations between us, we will not be able to achieve the great and ambitious improvement in nature that we want and need to attain globally. We will never achieve a good result through bureaucratic, mechanical measures. There are a lot of people sitting in their comfortable offices profiting from the environmental crisis and demanding money and respect. They keep flying from one end of the world to the other on all kinds of missions to make a lot of noise with what they are "doing" and which everyone "needs to hear" as if that alone means something is happening, but in practice we see no real progress. The Earth must also be cleansed of them, of these people who engage in useless campaigns that only cause harm because they mislead the world, leading it away from the real solution. The cleaning of the planet should start inside out. If we do not clean the planet from within, and continue with our reckless behavior and the selfish nature of our hearts as before, nothing will change for the better. The immense sums invested in environmental initiatives should be directed to spreading an educational process aimed at improving the way we relate to each other. Humans are the most developed and influential factors of all of nature's levels: still, vegetative, animate and human. Since we occupy the highest level in nature, positively affecting the environment, the climate, and nature in general can be achieved by reaching positive relations among us. On the contrary, by letting our divisive drives tear apart human relations, we also destroy our surrounding environment, the very nature that our lives depend on. The more we humans are able to correct ourselves by changing our divisive attitudes toward each other into positive attitudes of mutual support, encouragement, mutual responsibility, and reciprocal concern, the more we will receive positive feedback from nature. And the more we develop without making this necessary correction, the more negative feedback we will receive from nature, as we have experienced in the form of natural disasters, pandemics. It is of utmost importance for us to organize our thoughts, desires and qualities so that we understand that saving the environment and a shift to a better future depend solely on changing our attitudes to each other: from antagonistic egoism to positive, compassionate and cooperative relationships.
I totally disagree. None of this is caused by "climate change". It is all still within the normal variation of the weather. There have been hurricanes as strong and even stronger than this in the last 100 years. Sanibel and Captiva used to be one island. A hurricane split them in two. This storm was not strong enough to do that.

Great, now we are never gonna hear the end of this! Storms over, be glad you're still breathing, and let's all move on! Nothing near like Katrina or Sandy..
It snows in Minnesota, it's hot in Phoenix, there is alligators in Louisiana, and if you live in Florida, there might be a hurricane. If you choose not to evacuate, you get what you get. And now taxpayers are on the hook to pay for your lifestyle.
NHC didn't issue Hurricane Warning until Tuesday morning! Monday night everyone went to sleep to Tampa Bay or North hit. The next day Wednesday afternoon Hurricane hit as near Category 5 strength. NHC also on that same Monday Night didn't forecast it to rapid intensification. It was giving a category 2 at landfall. Cape Coral/Fort Myers south where almost not even on the cone on Monday Night. Lee County issued the evacuation order when NHC gave the warning on Tuesday morning.
I have no problem helping them rebuild as long as they stay in Florida. The last thing this country needs is refugees from the 2nd dumbest state in the union.
@Dee Santer wtf is wrong with you. You don't have to be asshat troll. Where's your proof that I am a liar. I have proof and videos to share to back it up do you bitch?
I worked and lived on Pine Island. Many of the people I know that lived there werent wealthy but were fisherpeople. maybe you should get your facts straight or maybe just get some facts, before you start spewing nonsense. What a scoop, that you completely made up- congratulations!
What?! Plenty of people who work on the Island, live there. There were little houses, apartments and big houses. Not everyone who lives there are wealthy. My sons ex boss lives and works on the Island (Not a wealthy man, just a hard worker) and my grandson went to school there. Don’t say things you know nothing about.

@@laural1165 I'm buried with other problems to deal with but I probably should. They have bureaucracies though which can hinder progress. Need brute force right now.
@@KMaN5150 A pile of concrete and gravel won't move. From what I saw, the road was laid on a pile of sand and the storm surge and waves washed the sand out from under it and the road collapsed. I'm sure you'd rather wait a year while they design a pretty bridge and get it approved.
They were told to LEAVE. That’s there problem because they hog the gulf and waterfront property and get mad when we fish 🎣 so serves them right. Enjoy your waterfront properties that are no longer there. The beach has never been more beautiful 😃
Matlacha and Pine Island are fishing towns. How does living on an island make you "hog the gulf"? At least logic isnt one of "there" problems. Not too many beaches on Pine Island either. So you are either grossly misinfomed and dont kow what youre talking about or you are lying. Which is it? You got one thing right, you are living in your own world.
Not a beach island. It’s a wonderful place , very sad. Many lost their lives. It just shows the pure evil in people for the nasty comments. They can fuck off.

Hi from Virginia Beach!!🏖🙂
Who lives on an island without a boat?.
You mean all the boats smashed to pieces or the ones pushed up on land by the storm surge? Those boats. Now all unusable. Get a clue.
Some many roads messed ☝.
That’s So Scary
People Were In Doubt About This Hurricane Ian
How Powerful It Was Going To Be And How Destructive 🌪
In doubt? It was forecast days in advance to arrive as a Cat 3 or 4.
Lady went to visit her friend that was under evacuation order? Smart
Lots of rude, heartless people in this comment section. It's easy to sit on your couch and pass out blame. Shame on all of you.
Some wonderful restaurants? YOU PAY TO REBUILD IT. WE?'RE DONE!
How?
They probably should have evacuated before the storm.
These condescending and entitled humans need to learn a hard lesson to humble down.
There Should Be Insurance Personnel On The Ground Handing Out Checks!!
They are insolvent as it is.
Insurance is a scam.
I heard many insurers will go bankrupt due to this hurricane.
Lot of people wont get paid. Not enough money. It gets worse.
When insurance companies hand out checks real quick they often get you to sign that it covers everything and you will have no more claim. Then a few weeks later you realize you had a lot more loss than what you figured on the day after the loss. Be careful what you sign in the first few weeks.

These are the nine qualities or aspects of His Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control these are the Fruit of the Holy Spirit (The Ruach Hakodesh.) of GOD Himself. And by God I mean the Creator of all things seen and unseen. Those aspects of the Spirit can never be obtained in their fullness by any man or woman unless they seek and know GOD. There is no immortality outside of His Purpose and His Will. These mainstream political “scientists” are absolutely laughable in their sheer vanity and idiotic pride. Let them pretend to be little gods and preeminent immortals. They are NOT. They shall die. Their bodies shall die no matter what physics they implement inside their own bodies. Let them play like fools. It means nothing but that we are nearing the End. The Lord will show Himself as HE IS. For His Name is “I AM” in Hebrew “YAHVEH” or “YHVH”. And no soul can escape out of His Hand. Let us not continue in open rebellion against the Holy One! Not against the Holy God. For our God is not some idiotic cartoon old man with a beard in the sky! No! He is a Consuming FIRE 🔥 complete with Lightnings and Thunderings and Voices coming from His Throne. Surrounded by Emerald Rainbows 🌈. And as if He was made of Gems. This Spirit is the Original Spirit that all other spirits came out from. Respect Him or find hell by default. Inevitably.
All just fine. Just stopecpecting the rest of to pay for your bliss.
The Demonic force is human ignorance and diabolical greed: DeSantis- a known climate change denialist- the same guy who voted against EMERGENCY FEMA RELIEF FUNDING FOR HURRICANE SANDY 🌀. DESANTIS- CONFLATING SCIENCE FACTS WITH CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND INSUFFERABLE REPUBLICAN RAGE GRIEVANCE HYSTERICS. NEXT ON THE MENU: Planetary Hospice, Managed Retreat, American Human Habitat Loss. Florida is the front line for the upcoming environmental extinction level events. 🌊🌊🌊🌊 🇺🇸🦖☄️🌎 🌊🌊🌊 There is no god- just the corrupt human minds willing to kill each othe in the name of God. I have never met a Christian who wasn't anything but a Rage Hatred Filled Monster" . HISTORY IS FULL OF INQUISITIONIST'S , RELIGIOUS WARS AND KILLING ANYTHING OR EVERYONE IN THE NAME OF GOD. 🌿🌎🌏🌍🌿
I guess no one learned from 10 years ago, how selfish do you have to be to not evacuate?
Now this is the danger of living on a Barrier Island not that was there entire livelihoods they could not walk away from during storm
:56 💫💥 Beat someone lost a chained mine; that is a pretty big, hole.!.
1:35 your legs disappeared -the Green Screen has a blip in it - nice try though - get some tips from NASA ASTRONAUTS ON FILMING
I think a couple rolls of paper towels ought to do the trick!
The antifa communists would just light fires with them.
Why didn't they follow orders and leave? It's hard to feel for these people when they didn't follow orders!
If your under 35 and single able body you should be out there doing clean up. I did that in my 30s.
@Dee Santer I cleaned up after Irma when I was 48 in the keys... but by then there was little I could do.
But younger people can really move stuff.
WHERE DO THEY USE FOR THEIR TOILETS ? IN THE STREET OR THE WOODS? IN BAG AND THROW IT TO IAN REMNANTS.
If we all in a situation with definitely fine a way. get bucket or dig a hold use plastic bag. Jesus help us all Jesus name 🙏😇🙌
It Looks Like A War Zone
Heat waves, droughts, fires and heavy rains that cause severe flooding have become more frequent in many parts of the world due to climate change, which affects the entire worldwide population.
The Earth is facing a “triple planetary crisis,” warn UN officials. Climate disruption, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste are the main areas of concern regarding the current state of the environment. This year, the Earth Day’s theme is “Invest In Our Planet,” so what would humanity's best investment for the planet be?
We need to start by cleaning up the planet. There is no place on Earth where the air and water are clean, and that's a real problem. In theory, tackling this issue should be our priority when it comes to taking action to improve the dismal state of our planet. But let’s not fool ourselves. Such a plan alone will solve nothing.
It will only help the international organizations to justify their own existence. They tick off "done" to raise as much money as they want, and that's it. If we do not improve relations between us, we will not be able to achieve the great and ambitious improvement in nature that we want and need to attain globally. We will never achieve a good result through bureaucratic, mechanical measures.
There are a lot of people sitting in their comfortable offices profiting from the environmental crisis and demanding money and respect. They keep flying from one end of the world to the other on all kinds of missions to make a lot of noise with what they are "doing" and which everyone "needs to hear" as if that alone means something is happening, but in practice we see no real progress. The Earth must also be cleansed of them, of these people who engage in useless campaigns that only cause harm because they mislead the world, leading it away from the real solution.
The cleaning of the planet should start inside out. If we do not clean the planet from within, and continue with our reckless behavior and the selfish nature of our hearts as before, nothing will change for the better. The immense sums invested in environmental initiatives should be directed to spreading an educational process aimed at improving the way we relate to each other.
Humans are the most developed and influential factors of all of nature's levels: still, vegetative, animate and human. Since we occupy the highest level in nature, positively affecting the environment, the climate, and nature in general can be achieved by reaching positive relations among us. On the contrary, by letting our divisive drives tear apart human relations, we also destroy our surrounding environment, the very nature that our lives depend on.
The more we humans are able to correct ourselves by changing our divisive attitudes toward each other into positive attitudes of mutual support, encouragement, mutual responsibility, and reciprocal concern, the more we will receive positive feedback from nature. And the more we develop without making this necessary correction, the more negative feedback we will receive from nature, as we have experienced in the form of natural disasters, pandemics.
It is of utmost importance for us to organize our thoughts, desires and qualities so that we understand that saving the environment and a shift to a better future depend solely on changing our attitudes to each other: from antagonistic egoism to positive, compassionate and cooperative relationships.
I totally disagree. None of this is caused by "climate change". It is all still within the normal variation of the weather. There have been hurricanes as strong and even stronger than this in the last 100 years. Sanibel and Captiva used to be one island. A hurricane split them in two. This storm was not strong enough to do that.
The Mist is coming what's in the Mist
Monsters,. And they are us!
@@jsEMCsquared I don't know man I don't really think where the monsters to be honest I think that's the big lie that's what Joe Rogan and Alex Jones and f****** in a Donald Trump wants you to believe but reality where I come from we're about helping our neighbors or we are about hard work I'm a Canadian man lived in Florida and I'll tell you one thing boy I'm f****** you get used to living that in the danger zone type of life if you're a fisherman that's part of your life meanwhile I choose the mainland
@@jsEMCsquared by the way you man my kitty cat rode my grandmother all the way up to New Brunswick Canada and got dropped off a completely unharmed which was quite shocking meanwhile I gave my grandma covid from the cat
I wish I was there to throw out some paper towels. Everyone needs paper towels. That's what Trump gave us in Houston. I'd like to return the favor.
🌏🐉👈🔫💯!!!!!!'
Aren't residence of Pine Island wealthy?
No, working class folk. Island folk. True Grit Folk
True, love Pine Island.
Definitely not the hood or the ghetto..far from it
No
Great, now we are never gonna hear the end of this!
Storms over, be glad you're still breathing, and let's all move on!
Nothing near like Katrina or Sandy..
Immigrants in our own country! Very sad!
ALL ISLANDERS SHOULD EVACUATE THERE IS MORE COMING THEIR WAYS SOON.
Reporter couldn't shave. To make it more authentic. LOL Fox News. smh
They chose to live there
When you have Too much money and think you can separate yourself from the poor.
It snows in Minnesota, it's hot in Phoenix, there is alligators in Louisiana, and if you live in Florida, there might be a hurricane. If you choose not to evacuate, you get what you get.
And now taxpayers are on the hook to pay for your lifestyle.
Hey Captain Obvious, tax payers are on the hook to help for any disaster that may befall your area too. Where were you educated?😂
NHC didn't issue Hurricane Warning until Tuesday morning! Monday night everyone went to sleep to Tampa Bay or North hit. The next day Wednesday afternoon Hurricane hit as near Category 5 strength.
NHC also on that same Monday Night didn't forecast it to rapid intensification. It was giving a category 2 at landfall.
Cape Coral/Fort Myers south where almost not even on the cone on Monday Night.
Lee County issued the evacuation order when NHC gave the warning on Tuesday morning.
Pound sand.
I have no problem helping them rebuild as long as they stay in Florida. The last thing this country needs is refugees from the 2nd dumbest state in the union.
@Dee Santer wtf is wrong with you. You don't have to be asshat troll.
Where's your proof that I am a liar. I have proof and videos to share to back it up do you bitch?
Those are workers, not residents of the Island. Those people can’t afford to live where they work. What a scoop - congratulations!
I worked and lived on Pine Island. Many of the people I know that lived there werent wealthy but were fisherpeople. maybe you should get your facts straight or maybe just get some facts, before you start spewing nonsense.
What a scoop, that you completely made up- congratulations!
they could be workers.. they are not well dressed and all minorities
What?! Plenty of people who work on the Island, live there. There were little houses, apartments and big houses. Not everyone who lives there are wealthy. My sons ex boss lives and works on the Island (Not a wealthy man, just a hard worker) and my grandson went to school there. Don’t say things you know nothing about.
@@orecoast1 Oh Snap! You told his ass off!
evidence?
Typical city takes 10 days to fill in a hole
No one cared after michael
And less people cared about Puerto Rico see what I did there. Point for me!
Where is the army corps of engineers ? Those poor people - Let’s see if Biden release Major Catastrophic Disaster funds this week - this is way beyond regular disaster funding
They should already have it open . Looked like all it needed was to be filled with concrete rubble and then gravel and then asphalt.
Why don’t you go volunteer your time. You seem to know what to do.
@@laural1165 I'm buried with other problems to deal with but I probably should. They have bureaucracies though which can hinder progress. Need brute force right now.
@@Islamisthecultofsin They half ass it and it crumbles again and then they have to pay some family millions of more dollars? lol
@@KMaN5150 A pile of concrete and gravel won't move. From what I saw, the road was laid on a pile of sand and the storm surge and waves washed the sand out from under it and the road collapsed. I'm sure you'd rather wait a year while they design a pretty bridge and get it approved.
They were told to LEAVE. That’s there problem because they hog the gulf and waterfront property and get mad when we fish 🎣 so serves them right. Enjoy your waterfront properties that are no longer there. The beach has never been more beautiful 😃
you are right .but show some compassion
Not sure why so many NPC's are upset. Sure seems like there's an effort to politicize everything.
Matlacha and Pine Island are fishing towns. How does living on an island make you "hog the gulf"? At least logic isnt one of "there" problems. Not too many beaches on Pine Island either.
So you are either grossly misinfomed and dont kow what youre talking about or you are lying. Which is it? You got one thing right, you are living in your own world.
Not a beach island. It’s a wonderful place , very sad. Many lost their lives. It just shows the pure evil in people for the nasty comments. They can fuck off.
Probably Maga people thought it was a hoax
It should be renamed Pinebox Island
Possibly the $612,000 DeSantis spent on his stunt to fly 50 immigrants out of Texas to the NE could have been better put to use for storm supplies.
How do you think taxpayers feel about paying for the millions that are here?
🙄🙄
@@guythatpaysforyourhandouts2478 Last time I looked the immigrant population in my town is working hard to give their families a better life. Industries are happy with their work ethic as well. We are a nation of immigrants unless you forgot.
Or we could be using the military equipment Biden gave to the Taliban.
You id***, he probably saved their lives, he has enough on his hands without worrying about illegals. What kind of American are you, or maybe you are not one,go help out if you have so much concern.
