If your house or your family’s house has been affected by the flooding and you need drone footage of your home let me know. Comment below 👇🏻

Woodhaven drive and Collingswood blvd. Specially, neighborhood southeast of that intersection. Thanks for being a good person in these strange times. Even if you’re not able to, I appreciate that you even asked. ❤️

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

@@faceplant45 I’ll see what I can do when I go back to North Port 🙏🏼

[@markgoshorn3607]

Hi Noah - If you're able to safely get a view of the Harbor Cove community off of Tamiami (looking for information on 402 Blackburn, as well as the immediate neighbors), that would be wonderful. Appreciate the willingness to help out, even if you can't get to it! Thanks and be safe!

[@sophisticatedsedanservice2910]

Shaffer Ave, north port

[@claudiahansen4938]

Thanks so much for your kindness. Looking for footage above Venice Woodlands, building lot inside the northwest corner of Border and Jackson. Heard streets are flooded, and some homes lost roofing. Ours hasn't been built yet, but Myakka River may have breached the community.

[@nofameculture]

The rebuild will be better than ever! Great area with amazing people!

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

That’s right. North Port will have an amazing come back! 💪

[@Frank-pe9pk]

We’re in the Sarasota county part of Englewood, just south of Venice and west of North Port. We’re just a few blocks east of Lemon Bay. We got hit hard. The area will never look the same.

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

Wow, that is one area I want to check out next…just haven’t been able to get to that area quite yet. I’ve heard reports from that area and it is just devastating 😔

[@tiffanyv2212]

Awesome ty for this. Every community needs this right now. I'd love to see port charlotte as well.

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

You are very welcome. I’d love to look at Port Charlotte but most has been blocked off due to the flooding. I may be able to get there now, but I know the flood waters have been rising for a couple days

[@info781]

Great video, many parts of North Port are in flood zones and I hope developers are really careful where they build and make sure the house pads are way above the roads.

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

Thanks! I know for us, as I’m partnered also with a builder in North Port, we have already mapped out the areas that these unprecedented floods brought because the old FEMA Flood Maps missed the boat on this one. It’s going to impact where we pick to build now

[@valeriehouck5284]

How did the lazy river 55 plus community do. My family have been pushing me to retire and move their. I’m from NYC and still working. I think I’ll just stay the way I am. Thanks. God bless

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

I drove past there. The area near the water saw some flooding and then the others not on the water were in relatively decent shape.

[@brianflatter]

Thank you so much for all your wise insight and for all you do. My wife grew up visiting her grandparents in Port Charlotte (Gulf Cove), lived there for a bit and absolutely LOVES the Sarasota/Venice/Englewood/Port Charlotte. After introducing me to the area (and a decade of my wife bugging me to move there ;-) we decided to buy land in North Port off Sumter on McTague street a couple months ago. It isn't in a flood zone, but the area about a mile north had to be evacuated by airboat! Wondering if anyone knows how that area did? Especially because you said much of this footage is off Sumter.

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

I appreciate that! Glad this video was helpful. I’m not sure that specific street ad that is a blocked off area but most area around Sumter did get flooded from the Big Slough

[@brianflatter]

@@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida Thank you. I was afraid of that, but thankfully it is just land, no structures. It is in the more central area off sumter--south of 75, north of the Heron Creek area. Hoping it is just the street. We will prob have to have someone drive by and make sure there is no debris on the property when things calm down. This was to be investment w/ possibility of building--guess we will need to be patient and figure out what we will do from here. Appreciate your reply.

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

@@brianflatter just let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help

Appreciate it 😁 Luckily Sarasota didn’t get hit as badly but still some damage throughout

[@lasalsera-x8d]

How was the Wellen Park area? Were they flooded too?

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

[@TinyTaco14]

Hey, my father has stage 3 liver cancer and stage 3 liver failure, my 80 yr old grandma is with him. The cannot find out if their houses are flooded. Would it be possible to hire you to get drone footage of their houses in north port? They have been evacuated to Sarasota and we don’t know if their houses survived or not. It’s so very stressful.

Hello, if by any chance can you check on the Mckibben Park area? My best friend has a house off of McKibben Dr and we are just looking to get an update on how its doing since he isn't allowed back in at the moment.

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

I just posted a video with that area specifically

[@Lauren-sp7mq]

[@NoahWard_SarasotaFlorida]

Yeah, I could do that. Send me a text to 941-404-8079. I may go there again this weekend

@Living in Sarasota Florida-Noah Ward Please keep these type of videos going. We are not getting updates from the town by street. I’m interested in finding out if our street is flooded by Arcaro Ave. & Chamberlain, Port Charlotte. Thanks

The levee actually did not break. The water levels just rose over I-75. The water levels decreased so now it’s not flooding over I-75

I was able to drive a truck in 5feet water and get out. Can you look at Oscar Terrace off of cranberry please

[@Backnine907]

I feel super sorry for all these people. The people I don't feel sorry for are all the foreign investors and companies like ZILLOW who were buying up homes below market value for the past 2 years, throwing a coat of paint on those homes and within 30 days putting them back on the market, doubling the price to take advantage of people looking to move to Florida. Many of those homes are now worthless except for what the insurance companies will give them, which in many cases those investors only insure the homes for the bare minimum. Karma is a bitch I guess.

[@Angelo-fo8de]

Whatever ! Homes in Florida will/still remain in high demand ! Hurricanes are nature here , you’ll never understand that UNLESS you live in Florida ! No state like it in the US !

[@info781]

You have to be very careful if you buy a house in a flood zone anywhere in Florida. However, higher house prices will mean more property taxes which means better services, including drainage.
