    Around two hundred homes in one neighborhood southwest of Fort Meyers along Summerlin Road are flooded. Residents were going back and salvaging what they could. One resident tells me the water mark was way up her walls and there is now thick mud everywhere. She has lost everything and doesn’t even know where she’s going next. Included several sots after video and name and spelling at end of vid.

    I am 65 years old I have lived in Florida my whole life my first hurricane was Donna in the '60s I was 7 years old since then I've been in several more including Ian. When I was a child you could drive down the coastline and see the beach for miles and miles now I drive down the coastline I can't even see the water because we have overbuilt like there would never be a tragedy we've sold people a false dream. Florida's beautiful and yes it's tropical and yes it has hurricanes and yes if you build on the coastline this is what happens wake up and be a realistic person stop building a block from the water

This EXACT AREA HERE, DESERVES EVERYTHING THEY GET. DON'T FEEL BAD, OR YOU MAY CATCH THEIR DRIFT. They know. and just because I'm out of their sight, doesn't mean they're out of trouble.

I wish insurance companies would give those that don't build on coast an insurance discount but instead these companies will just hike up everyone's rates. So we all will pay for this destruction.

      People want to move to/live in Florida but can't afford housing in the less flood prone areas...so builders build homes/push people to nature's natural buffer to hurricanes which is marshland/everglade areas.
      Those areas all intended to flood. It's the housing that was never intended to be there

      God gave me a vision and I saw God wielding an Axe devastating Man/USA and God told me to command disasters on d USA until compensation paid as his Hand will fight for me against d USA. I had met an accident in Houston, Texas in which hearsts runaway 18-wheeler flew over d road to hit my car injuring me severely. . America then sent 4 kkk to brutalise, terrorise and made 9 attempts to kill me secretly. They also jailed me arbitrarily and then framed 3 false charges to lock me up again. This was why God was very angry with the USA. USA fulfilled d prophecy of Obadiah to break d eternal covenant of brotherly love made with God thru d shed blood of Jesus Christ. D covenant requires d blood of Ephraim (USA & western nations of d cross) to be shed. It's d nature of blood covenant. My experience indicates that America is a very dirty , merciless and unjust nation. They refused to correct d injustices since 1989 and my life was totally ruined since 1989. I am wondering why Americans refused to heed Micah 6:8. Americans don't seem to trust in God. Is it just words and not from their hearts when they mentioned God?

Every time when it was about to hit our city, it made a turn towards the other places but I feel so sorry to see this happened on other people's house and life... Think my suggestion is really the same with others. It's really not safe to have a house or apartment in Florida so close to the ocean, you never know when it's gonna happen and what is gonna happen. My prayers and thoughts with all those people impacted by this and hopefully they will come up with recovery soon.

      I lived in Broward County for over 30 years. I was there when Wilma hit us dead on. My friend and I got really lucky. I was living in a mobile home, so I stayed at my friend's house in Coral Springs. I was looking out her bedroom window, which overlooked a field of trees. One tree uprooted and fell on the next. Then there was the domino effect, as ALL the trees uprooted.
      The next morning when we got the all clear, I went outside and looked at the parking lot. 13 cars in a row had their back windshields smashed in. Not a scratch on Arlene's car. I went inside and woke her up. "Arlene, nothing but God just saved your car." She looked around and said, "Sharon, where's your car?" I pointed further down, but we couldn't see it. We walked down to my car. A huge 30 foot oak tree uprooted and landed between my car and another car. All the branches were behind my car, touching the tires, so I was trapped. But at least my car wasn't smashed.
      Back at my mobile home park. My neighbor's tree fell on top of his trailer. Down the road three trailers flipped upside down and landed in the canal.
      I had a broken window and lost all the skirting. The manager of my park replaced it for free. Arlene's dad fixed my window for me.
      My mom used to live in Everglade Lakes mobile home park, but she moved six months earlier. Tornados went through, destroying 4000 trailers. My mom's friend and neighbors trailer was destroyed. They had evacuated, but they returned to find a pile of debris. Her friend's husband literally had a heart attack on the spot and was rushed to the hospital.

    Temporarily these people will have to be moved to areas for safety that can take them, later mass trailers will be brought in for these people to relocate to until insurance companies can assess the damage or livability of living there.

    Living in a tin can in the tropics is like living with a ticking time bomb in your house, it's just a matter of time until nature blows it away and or floods it. Living up off the ground near the coast is a must if you don't want everything to get wet some day and building a house the proper way, CBS, with concrete and hipped roofs with concrete tiles will prevent the need for expensive repairs, losses or even buying insurance every year. Build, rent of buy a solid structure as your insurance, or roll the dice like so many chose to do. It is a choice. From drone videos, you can easily see which structures were built for the tropics and which ones were "temporary" structures. Same story every storm.

It should be a law in Florida....if they live in a trailer they should either make them evacuate or the government should pay to put these trailers up higher incase of floods. I know the wind can damage them too, but if they could keep the water out... they just might have a chance of saving their homes. God bless them. I've been praying for them the most. I know it's God's will for whatever reason, but it's hard to watch people's lives turned upside down like this. 🥺😥🙏🙏🙏🙏 I tried not to worry and tell myself just have faith.

    Bless all of those people including my cousin and his girlfriend's family 🙏 I hope they have a full recovery, I know it will take time but I really am praying for everyone in the Ft. Meyers, Cape Coral, and Naples.

    I knew it was going to be bad but didnt know it was going to be horrific. Hopefully people will come together and help our neighbors

    Very sad to see this whole mobile home community shredded by the hurricane and know that, in many cases, this is all they had. 😢
