Pensacola Florida here. I don't live by the water and we get hurricanes but once every 10 years or so. Hurricane panels up and trees are away from the house. But sitting through one will wreck your nerves. Prayers for people who were in harm's way and lost everything.

This is the best footage of the damage! No reporters telling us what we’re looking at. No dramatic music to remind us that this is a bad situation. Keep up the GOOD work!

Prayers from Swfl, Ian surviver and rebuilder. Slow steady pase and lots of neighborly help. God bless Florida.

Thanks for sharing. A lot of happiness disappeared in a short period of time. Life can be rough no matter how hard one tries but people are resilient and will start over.

I live in Palm Beach county ( Southeast).
We have had several major hurricanes hit the counties south and north of us; the impact was still devastating for many.
I just thank God so many did prepare the best they could or evacuated. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

My heart goes out to all who lost houses, pets, vehicles in this catastrophe. I grew up on the Gulf and have seen beach community after beach community become overdeveloped, populated with endless chains of oversized structures situated way to close to as unpredictable body of water as the Gulf is. The beach houses of old were mostly stout little cinderblock structures that could withstand a serious beating. Even if they were gutted by storm surge, the walls typically remained and rebuilding was a fairly simple proposition. Plus they were protected by tall dunes, which minimized the storm surge assault. I was down in Appalachicola just after Hurricane Michael hit a few years back. Hadn't seen that stretch of coastline in 30 years and was stunned by the rows of condos built basically on the Gulf---feet from the high tide line, no dunes. It's pretty clear that developers have no vision of the future, they see only what money they can squeeze out of the present. At this point legislation needs to be made to limit building so close to the water. With Gulf temps getting higher each year, the storms will become more frequent and powerful, so something needs to be done. In the meantime, I wish all those affected a swift resolution to this catastrophe. After Ivan we were without power for weeks, water for days. These folks have a rough and rocky road ahead of them and they need all the help they can get.

Rebuilding is one thing, getting property/wind/flood insurance is another--I think many will leave and waterfront property will be uninsurable.

Now this looks like Fort Myers Beach 2 years ago after Ian so sorry for these people

[greasebellygarage]

I've been in Florida my entire life and I've never been much of a beach guy but when I see this devastation, it makes me sick to my stomach. many of these houses were built years and years and years ago and it's a shame that people have to have their lives upended this way. I wish everyone the best. especially with getting homeowners insurance in the future. that goes for everybody in the Southeast....

Incredible footage. Horrible devastation.

[darrenoliverio]

I am just at a loss for words, I really do pray that your road to recovery is manageable, I am soooo sorry for all of you,
it really isnt fair, your home is your safe place.

Building wood houses so close to the coast is madness

[crazytrain]

That's my dad's house at 2:04....the blue one. That house has weathered some storms...this one was a close call.

[daniellesweeney]

I been through one hurricane. Don't ever want to go through another one. It was Terrifying. So loud. I thought the big trees were going to crash down on my house. Or the house was going to come of the foundation. Like I said Terrifying.

[djkennd]

You can really see who the good builders are. Some houses look untouched, minus a few shingles/siding.

[mariadln]

My heart goes out to all who suffer natural disaster losses of life, home and livelihood.
🙏🏻May God have mercy on us all.

Very similar to michael in 2018 . Mexico beach has never been the same . They have done a great job building back but it just wont be the same ever again
