Hurricane Milton Aftermath - Punta Gorda Florida

The aftermath of Hurricane Milton comes just weeks after Helene. Punta Gorda and parts of Port Charlotte have been crushed. Thoughts and prayers to all of those affected.

I just wanted to thank you for providing such a comprehensive view of the area. It's been very difficult to find anything like this. We appreciate your video!! Thank you!

We’ve been on holiday to Punta Gouda a few times with our friends from New York. We have been praying that everyone will be safe. Life is irreplaceable but buildings can be rebuilt, our prayers are with all of you at this difficult time ❤🇬🇧

I'm with others. Thank you for sharing this video. For those of us with family there (my 92 year old father & his wife), your walking in places we know in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte...it is meaningful.

Thank you for this. Network news coverage is so heavily edited by the corporate owners it's pointless now. Your grassroots small content creator man on the street coverage is just better. Just show what it looks like. The aftermath is self evident. I'm so sorry. I miss Florida so much. The lifestyle and year round nice weather except for the hurricances and uh, you know, crazy folks. Face eating Zombies. Other than that. lol Seriously I miss FL so much. Keep on laughing thru the grief. You all will recover. I'm so sorry. Total bummer. Tears, but such good memories are with you always. And new good times ahead. Cheers.

WOW... Looks even worse than this morning did... Well done video and thanks as always Ben💪❤

Thanks for the solid reporting. This is just the beginning. Many people are not insured because they owned their homes and did not have to be. The tourist season will probably be a bust and hurt the people who work in one of Florida's biggest industries. The State will be very stretched to pay all the claims coming their way.

Thanks Ben. I adore Punta Gorda & am heartbroken over the destruction.

Thank you for this video. Sarah and I moved from Punta Gorda just over 4 years ago. It is so sad to see so many of our friends and neighbors homes destroyed. Please be safe.

Insurance is going to be even more of an issue. If thats possible. Thanks for this video.

It's not a "conspiracy theory" when there are patents for it !!!

[jesusjaumot]

Not the worst case scenario. There is a lot of debris everywhere mostly looks from Helene. There are some boats 🛥️ in the park next to the water that probably were not well tied and came out with the storm surge. I saw a Marina full of boats on their berths! I saw a Tratched roof in place next to the gulf. I see many trees standing firm and not to many in the ground or uprooted! I see those metal roofs in good condition! It looks that they don’t have power yet. The infraestructure of roads, streets and bridges looks in good condition. That area needs a big cleaning!

My brother is in PGI on a canal. Thankfully his house did not have damage. He has a new build, so it was elevated a bit. I've been there several times and it makes me sad to see all the destruction.

Thank you Ben. I wonder how Tropical Gulf Acres did? I bought a lot there Aug 2023. It's just a lot at this point thank goodness. My prayers have been with you guys. I live in Broward county. We did ok. A cpl tornadoes is all.

[greenbrown]

That's bad, but to tell you the truth, I was expecting even worse.

[johnkatrich]

Still curious about Fisherman’s Village and adjacent Marina area?

[RobOlgatree]

In the past the people of SW Florida were very vigilant and successful and I'm hoping its still like that. Ben glad you and your wife are ok.

[janetroy]

Thank you for making this video showing so many sad and unthinkable areas. My son works in Punta Gorda-not sure what will be left..😢

[johngates]

How did Fisherman’s Village- The Isles fare? And once again your reporting is outstanding ! Thank you

[jesusjaumot]

Thank you for your report in Punta Gorda! What about Port Charlotte and the area from Edgewater to the gulf. Do they suffer with the storm surge ? Do they have flooding? Thank you
