[@amyhoosierdiver5480]

True at least y'all were safe and your boats undamaged. Still can't help crying seeing the aftermath and thinking of the damage there and elsewhere.

[@lovejetfuel4071]

I'm going to miss watching the Live cam. Seeing the dock like that just makes me so sad :(

[@TattooedDisNerd]

[@fastfrank55]

I'm happy to know everyone is safe. But I'm heartbroken to see the devastation. I visited many places all over the world during my Navy career and have been all over our nation, but this area is my favorite above all others. My prayers are with everyone.

[@gregabrams5792]

I can't imagine what insurance rates will be next year.

[@jmill5995]

It’s gonna take a minute to bounce back from this one. If we ever get a direct hit we are so fucked. It’ll be worse than Ian.

[@TheHallsOfFame]

Woooow! I'm sorry you guys! That's so heartbreaking. But im happy everyone is safe

[@TJJS982]

Thank you for showing this video! Praying for you all!! ❤

[@BarrierIsland]

Wow, I am shocked, had no idea it was this bad. It's never happened before like this...

[@jimkroeker]

looks pretty much like st james city did after lan. that was two years ago and a lot has been done and a lot still to do. house is gone and boat is still up on the lift. l feel bad for you. a lifetime of work.... poof gone over night. don't know if you had insurance or not. if you did, get a lawyer on it monday. be wary of sba loans-- read the fine print very carefully. experience is what you have immediately after you need it. don't know how l can help but l will if l can.

[@jase4270]

Moral of the story dont buy or build on the beach. How stupid can people get.The sea is rising and will continue to do so.

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

Just letting us know who’s really “in charge”

[@judichester9218]

Wow...prayers to those whose lives got overturned by this massive storm. So sad.

[@michelledubose2391]

Mother Nature must be up set with all the over fishing wait for next week she coming back again

[@johnconnolly3635]

Dylan great piece an reporting about Madeira beach. But then the news companys

[@luly2323]

Only steel reinforced concrete structures remain ……must teach something!

[@melaniedelaney640]

Being a resident this breaks my heart I can’t believe it’s all destroyed😢

[@REXKUEHNER]

I APPLAUDE YOUR UPBEAT SOUL AND HEART. THEY WILL NEED THOUSANDS OF YOUR HEART TO RE-BUILD.

[@luly2323]

Ban all wooden structures. Steel reinforced concrete only on waterfront and barrier islands!

[@J-Ville_Jaguars.]

That's truly a shame! 🥺 John's pass was a pretty cool place.

[@rp4534]

In just the last couple years Florida has been hit at every angle 😢

[@MarkFelder-p9c]

The sea is telling you to move back. Will you listen?

[@RussellALeenders]

Who's playing the stupid piano?

[@misteeschubert6318]

I love your attitude. I have no doubt you'll be back better than ever!

[@TheRealUncensoredTravelGuide]

Imagine if each State had to pay for their own problems. That's Trump's plan. Imagine States having to tax more money to prep for natural disasters. We'd all be broke.

[@pinkflamingo_22]

Grew up close to there my mom worked at Kingfish and have spent many many days there. Sending loving thoughts to all of you. I have family still in FL close to Cedar Key. You are right the blessing is they made it through.

[@DypoMage]
