Hurricane 🌀 lan landing in North Port

The scope of the devastation was only beginning to come into view days after Ian slammed into the peninsula as a Category 4 hurricane. Punishing winds and waters left a trail of destruction on the southwest coast and into central Florida, flooding streets and homes and knocking out power, water and internet service.

Been in North Port 23 years. We are done, done, done. Good job on the video!

Wow. You captured it well. We live at 41 and Cranberry. 2 pine trees came down from the neighbors yard, taking our pine tree with them. Hit our house, taking out the lanai but, thank God, no damage to the house roof. LOTS of trees and branches in our yard. And the storm surge! Flooded our garage but, thank God again, didn't come in the house. However, my car got caught in the flood and totalled. Geico did a great job taking care of business. An unbelievable experience. Kayaking up to the RaceTrac for almost a week before the water receded. FPL did such a great job getting the power back on! And North Port did well, also, getting the water back on. But those poor people who lived in the over 55 parks...omgosh. They suffered so! All together, it was a massive disaster. Again, you did a great job capturing it. Thank you for posting your vid.

Thank you Lisa, i glad you like my video, but the most important thing is you and your family are ok!!!

I live off of Biscayne was def insane and what really aggravated me was like on TV we basically didn't exist nothing was EVER said about us

[@andresadventures7505]

Yes the biggest city in Sarasota county and barely was mentioned. Very disappointed for all of us who live in this beautiful city!!!

You do know that North Port is the ugly step child of Sarasota county?!

[@marthaely8244]

I agree! My daughter and her family live in North Port and not once did I hear any mention of North Port on the news.

[@andresadventures7505]

@@marthaely8244 yes I try to understand and maybe they mention only County and No city, when I saw some tv news about North Port they say Sarasota County.

[@Swampy0525]

Man, it’s so weird seeing where I live in the news. Usually Hurricanes don’t hit our part of Florida very hard. Guess we ran out of luck this time.

[@SnowPink90]

You did a great job showing all that happened to your property and the neighbourhood. I think I would’ve been scared out of my wits!! Take care.

[@crystaldixon6787]

thank you for sharing. The last photos put a big smile on my face I am so glade that you made it safely threw this hurricane and that your neighbors came threw it also. I love how you took video of everything that happened and then ended it with happy photos so I had to come and say thank you you are all in my prayers and I hope that everyone gets there homes fixed and get there life kind of back to normal.

[@penelopelopez8296]

I’m done with Florida. This was the last straw.

[@theaeronshowremod2022]

I was in a High Wind Warning one time it it was like this, taking out power for 4-5 hours, no internet, and creaking and cracking. The only difference was that the house didn't flood.

[@Venice617]

You did a nice job in orchestrating and editing the video. Thank you for sharing. Above all, I’m sorry. I live in South Venice.

[@omgthatsrita]

I live off of biscayne too and my house was torn apart- were sleeping on the back porch. Fema keeps saying our app has an error, we can’t get any help!

[@andresadventures7505]

Sorry to hear that, with FEMA you have to insist and try over and over until you have the answer, the other option is be in person with a FEMA representative but I don’t know if they still around!!!

[@blazeoftherazgrizsquadron9306]

Damn, weird seeing a video come out of my home town. Yeah, Ian really fucked up our neighborhood.

[@judycoyne7818]

Seeing the duckies was a lil ray of hope!!💞

Helpful tip: Every house in Florida should have a massive Wet-Vac on hand.

[@1970FLcrkr]

I'm really sorry you had to go through this. But you really need to move out of North Port. We moved out of North Port in the mid 80s for a reason and that flood is exactly the reason why. Lived there since 1970 through the mid 80s grew up there and all you needed was a half hour rain for the ends of each of the streets in the old neighborhood to fill up with a puddle on long enough that it wouldn't drain that tadpoles would hatch in it and I could go down there three days later and catch tadpoles as a child. Those supposed drainage dishes behind the houses and the old neighborhoods yeah they fill up within about 2 hours of a heavy rain and start flooding the streets. So when I heard Ian was going to hit North Port yeah I knew this was going to happen I just didn't think it was going to happen in the newer neighborhoods. They should have never cleared the swamps and built orange groves there back in the 40s 50s. And then they put houses in the '60s.

I live at South Sumter Blvd & luckily my street didn't got any flooded after the rain gone. Man I was so glad to have new doors to protect my house with impacted windows for strong winds. Thank goodness you trying to keep your house dry inside while middle of the storm coming. I bet everyone is helping out being neighborhood. So far it was totally mess & thankfully we gotten rid of oak trees due to starting twisted middle of eyewall. But hey all of us made it safe. 📱🌀📺🏳️‍🌈

Hurricanes are just too dangerous. Every area has its weather extremes, but hurricanes are frequent and so devastating.

@@andresadventures7505 My daughter lives off of Price and Glenallen. (Single mother) Her rental management company still hasn't gotten her a tarp for her roof, so finally her managers and team from the Publix (at Sumter and Price) got one (today) and put it on her roof for her, just in time for the rains today. We got her a generator and she's set now if she keeps losing power. We were down there (Pt. Charlotte) for Charley, but that was a much smaller storm, and it was bad enough. I'm just glad that her house is built as sturdy as it is. Thanks for the video.

@@andresadventures7505 We are so glad that she's ok. We used to live in North Port, on the other side of Sumter, in the area that was under the 4ft of water, before we bought in Pt. Charlotte. It's a nice area, or used to be, anyway. We like the rural area that we're in up in the Florida Panhandle now, though.
