Coverage from Fort Myers Beach

On Florida's West Coast, the death toll has reached the double digits as rescuers comb through the wreckage, looking for any sign of life. There are at least 21 deaths likely caused by the hurricane. As many as 10,000 people in southwest Florida are still unaccounted for. Anchor Vic Micolucci joins us live via Zoom from Fort Myers this morning.

Spent a summer in the early 70s in Fort Meyers Beach when a kid. Beautiful place. So sad. My grandfather stayed to ride out one hurricane. I think it was Camille. He would never say anything about it except never again.

How about more video coverage and less FaceTime from you guys

She repeats “DOUBLE DIGITS” in a creepy tone and has a red dress on and acts almost like she’s happy with her News “CASTING”

I’m so glad that iPad was able to get it’s professional journalist to read the story off it with minimal stammering.

Thanks for the informational interview, both parties were interesting and professional.

Thanks for the footage. Would like more footage going slower . We've been coming to Ft. Myers Beach for over 45 years from Indiana. This is so heartbreaking for all. Hoping all can be rebuilt quickly.

Of course when you build buildings out of cardboard what else does one expect.

We live 12 minutes from the bridge to FEB and are devastated to see the distruction

Hands on work we can do it
Mara huracán was like a bomb too to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 but little by little we can do it so sorry for the ones who lost they love ones in the flooding 🙏🇺🇸

I think when building back, it should be to code of withstanding max hurricane winds and flooding! So sad & heartbreaking to see, my prayers go out to all devistated by Ian!🙏🙏🙏🙏 For

[evonwilliams]

I'm praying for everyone so sad 😣😥

[darryladams]

She needs a tan but she's cute with the knee high f÷×@ me boots

[martyhill]

Lived there as a kid very sad to see 🙏 for all of you

What is making this so much different is hurricane Ian is changing the landscape in that area of FL. Past hurricanes did make damage, but Land was still intact and not submerged in water as new body of water, To rebuild there means to rebuild what was once there holding foundations to all structures on it, 😞

[carlossoza]

10, 000 people unaccounted for? Is this reporter out of her mind?

[shellysmith]

'I'm so sorry....' - ugly boots

[Rene-uzeb]

Quite frankly my impression is, given that it was hit head on as a 4, damage was minimal and limited to the beach front. South west Florida is exclusively rich residential neighborhoods.

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?
