WASTE and STUPIDITY are the twin pillars of American society.

WW3 reminder???

Japón toene terremotos y adaptaron construcción antisísmica, edificios en Tokio muy altos.

Desde Argentina 🇦🇷, me jubile y antes me fui a Mar del Plata hermosa ciudad, está construida, en la terminacion de unas sierras, por lo tanto, hay como precipicio que hay que bajar al mar, miré, miré, vi las rejas oxidadas a pintar todos los años, y me dije no voy para zona serrana, en el centro del país compre un lindo terreno, construimos, durante un año, y que pasó? Sequía fuego ❤️‍🔥 🚒 mi casa no pero en la provincia se quemo 70.000has lo prendieron como todos los años. Las catastrofes, vienen de"limpieza" , mucha gente se vino a este puebito, de 10.000 a 25.000 personas en menos de 10 años. Muchos de ellos, construyendo precariamente, ese se quemó, ni bien terminaron de pasar los aviones, hidrantes, les pasa a uds. Y si, volvió la adrenalina, desde la ventana de mi cocina veia como 5 volcanes, terror, medite xq lacasa de mi profesora de yoga queda mas arriba q yo, medite y envolvi su casa en una gota de agua, así lo imaginó mi alma en ese momento, pueden creer que todo alrededor se quemó su casa nada! Ahora se iran los que no pertenecen, nuestra única calle comercial está techada, por el granizo, avatares de los que nos gusta vivir junto a la naturaleza. Nos pasa.

Es muy triste. Todo el verde, seco.

These islands are a waste of taxpayer wages. A select few live here and all pay for their playgrounds. These are sandbars at sea level. It is stupidity that builds or allows to build here. And what about all the debris left in ocean and disposed of? What about the sewage? This is pure insanity. These places should be used as temporary. Mobile living. Generator power. This is a terrible waste

👏 👏 👏

Thank you for the vid!

It is ridiculous that tax dollars are wasted on roads and infrastructure on barrier islands. Only the rich can live there, all homeowners should pay into a fund when disasters happens they can pay to fix the island without tax payer dollars.

WOW!!! The power of the sea...

Beautiful! I want to come visit! ❤

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video of incredible Sanibel island's wildlife. I have been there numerous times and have never seen pink flamingos. Just breathtakingly beautiful paradise.....

It’s such a special place. I can’t wait to go back!

Precious memories. Thank you for sharing! ❤‍🩹

My favorite place of all places I've visited. I can't wait to come back. #bluedolphinstrong

love sanibel! thank you!!!!!!!!!

The people will return and the Blue Dolphin will be as beautiful as it once was. Blessings to everyone.

Powerful. We're coming back.

You've captured the very essence of it all ❤ 🏖🌞

Well done video with much hope for the future. Good Luck!

Well, that’s cool. But what’s even cooler is that two days ago we had 4 or 5 flamingoes on the shore of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

😊😊

We are approaching a year. Could you do another one same route as the recovery?

People don't realize that this footage is probably a month afterwards. I was there and this looks like a Hilton compared to what it was when I got there. Those piles were two stories high and took weeks to get to this point.

I was just in Captiva late July. There is still a lot to clean up from Ian still. Thank GOD this new one Idalia is gonna spare San/Cap area from most of winds and surge this time. I am hoping they only get some rain and thats it!😎

I miss that beautiful Island hope to be able to visit next year

Thanks for posting. Hope it misses you !

Autumn is my favorite season.

Poor tourist don't realize they can go rite across the street to southern most Bae and get there picture taken at a matching block of concrete without the wait.

Lived in Maine my whole life (19 years) and that season is still the worst i've seen by far. Reminds me of Buffalo or Mammoth Lakes. We got crushed that year like never before, Feet upon feet upon feet.

We took a helicopter twice from Page Field to get over before the bridge. It cost as much as many boats were charging at the time. I can still smell it. 8 foot of water on the first floor. We dragged many things to the curb. All things. Anything metal rusted quickly in that ocean water. I didn’t get to go out in the streets because so much mitigation was necessary. Scraping mud for hours and tossing all broken and wet items outside. Knowing everyone else is doing the same. I didn’t expect a storm to affect me so much. Thank you for your tasteful drive through.

The not quite southernmost point!

praying for the pelicans. And all the animals on earth 🌎

I'm not shocked, I rode it out here in Cape Coral and we had the very same thing.

Thanks you for doing this so many of us are praying for all the people there Sanibel is such a special place and we can get no info here in Indiana on what is going on

Southernmost point

How was the world's best homemade ice cream shop and Tuttle shell shop

2022 was rough: Lost my dad, lost my dog and lost Sanibel. My dad and mom took us there (rented at the Moorings) in the 1980's and we continued there with our kids through the 2000's. Went there last February and I will return.

🤓🧑‍🔧🏗👷‍♂🌉🏝🌫⏳🌪 How This Bridge Was Rebuilt in 15 Days After Hurricane Ian kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIfMZqNjrt55acU

There it it . GREED & EXCESS for all the world to see

We will never recover. We can’t find reasonably priced labor. ($3600 a day surcharge) on top of the price of actual labor. Insurance companies are bastards…for instance they only gave us $1000 for flooring that costs $13,000. Lots of scammers out there trying to take advantage of old people. We are going to move more inland because these type of cat 4 or 5 hurricanes happen all the time now along the gulf coast. Goodbye forever Sanibel!

🏝🔂🌪 Hurricane Ian: Massive Destruction, Sanibel Causeway Destroyed, '100's Fatalities;' Wind Speeds...? kzbin.info/www/bejne/foCcZoKImK6tfJo

I truely hope the woodcarvers on the island can collect, tree roots,bark,stumps an other woods to turn them into the beauty fr. the island fr. the devastation...wish we were closer to see where our cottage use to be at the Caribe...

My heart breaks when I see this amount of destruction

There is another huge pile near the entrance to The Sanctuary on Wulfert. I think it is much larger.

Visited this beautiful place on an annual basis. So green and clean. Is very sad to see the destruction. Obviously it will be years to fully recover but will never again be the same

I'm glad to see that nature won in Sanibel. Sadly it has been way overbuilt. Like so many things in nature the humans just had too much hubris. I am so amused by Christians when they build on sand. They read the Bible but they don't heed any of the warnings.

Wow

Amazing how quickly the white well to do had access to Sanibel. 100 crews working 24 hrs a day!!! How are the fixed mobile home parks people faring? Or the downtown business owners in ft. Myers Beach. Or the people of color in Ft. Myers city. Evidently there was no damage there at all judging by news reports.

So much debris... You all should build a new island with all that rubble or mound it all up and build on top of the mountain you create. Maybe it will help to be a little higher in elevation.
