Hurricane Ian’s center made landfall as a Category 4 storm near Cayo Costa, a barrier island just west of Fort Myers.

Water coursed through the streets of Naples, creating giant waves that made roads impassable and flooded the city’s fire department. A video posted by Naples Fire-Rescue showed crews working to salvage equipment and firetrucks in more than 3 feet of water. In Cape Coral, about 30 miles up the coast, photos showed a sailboat washed up in the middle of a road near homes.
Nearby Fort Myers saw intense storm surge flooding coastal communities and the area around WINK News, a local CBS affiliate. Videos showed water reaching car windshields in the studio's parking lot and some of the storm surge leaking into the building.
Farther north along the coast, intense storm surge flooded a hospital's lower level emergency room in Port Charlotte, while fierce winds ripped away part of the roof from its intensive care unit, according to a doctor who works there.

Apocaliptico mi Good
Is that what a hurricane does. Wow who would have thought.
You should see hurricane andrew
Not a very good Fort
Where is DeSantis
What’s still terrible is that, Florida has no mountain ranges; they don’t even have a jungle like Louisiana does. It’s all flat lands like the prairies. 🤔

Sadly a lot of animals died, but alligators and boa
HOW do you recover from this?
Move a bit further inland perhaps.
Hint u dont
Uncountable debris , may take weeks to clean up Every citizen in Florida should jump on the road and do the cleanup
People want to live near the water, but then get really upset when the water doesn’t stay where they want it to.
So sorry how devastating ..🙏
What a mess!!! 😬😬😬
