Whoever installed this camera did a very good job.

To think I was only 7 miles or less from all of this. It’s actually chilling. My house is on a bit of an incline and the canal in the backyard was actually about to overflow into everyone’s homes.

I thought my friend was joking when she said Florida is in the ocean 💀

Sometimes Mother Nature has to gently remind humans that they are not in charge.

Damn those power lines and poles are hanging on for dear life!

Those big swells are caused by air from the upper levels of the atmosphere on top of the storm being sucked into the eye like a vacuum cleaner, plunging down, and blowing out in every direction around the surface of the ocean . Incredible energy.

How can you recover from this? It’s living in fear and destruction, I don’t understand how people can stay after this, this is part of living in a sinkhole with hurricanes everywhere every year

[zachbrust]

Terrifying. Prayers for everybody affected by this storm 🙏

I'm praying for everyone injured, dead, or separated from family, but I can't help but think about how fun it would be to boogie board in the water, idk why I'm thinking of this, hurricane Ian has been truly tragic and I will remember it for the rest of my life.

Palm trees be like: still standing bro 🌴

The Gulf looks like it's the Atlantic Ocean here. Its incredible that more lives weren't lost. I was in Cape Coral and I can tell you it was terrifying. The sounds that come with a 135mph+ winds are something you'll never forget. Whistling at first and then a droning that went on and on for hours.

If there's an insane hurricane, they're gonna call it 'Hurricane Karen'

If anyone on earth thinks that barrier islands were to be populated for the greedy pleasure of human blight, I send you Ian.

I was about an hour away from this. By far the scariest hurricane I’ve ever lived through. That’s excluding Charley because I was too young to remember that.

I probably got away pretty lucky because my house didn’t fall apart or get flooded. My damages summarized were basically many lost shingles, terrible leakage in my room (it has to be almost fully redone), huge oak tree was uprooted and nearly fell on the neighbor’s house, lanai screens ripped apart, and lanai door deformed slightly.

It doesn’t seem like much but experience such strong wind for so long was so terrifying for me. To explain where I was exactly in this, once the eye wall reached us, we NEVER experienced the inside of the eye. It just circulated around us for more than 6 hours. I felt like my world was falling apart around me, the big oak tree, the river rapids outside my house, my room’s roof is leaking, it was just awful. This whole experience made me so much more empathetic to those experiencing these natural disasters, because I keep thinking “that could’ve been me.” I had nightmares about hurricanes a few times afterwards, and now I have ptsd. I need to talk to my therapist about this.
