Unbelievable. Really good footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@dienocrown3351]

as a former owner of home there it amazes me on all the hurricane and tornado hits in Punta Gorda is the fact the next day you still have a home and everyone helping other to pull through and rebuild, truly living in Florida is a big challenge., but when you make it life there can be quit rewarding.!

[@JeffreyLiddell-e4i]

This is certainly a mess for PG, but not nearly as bad as hurricane Ian( I was in Port Charlotte for that) and hurricane Charlie. I'm back in Texas and don't miss it one bit. But, I wish all the folks still unlucky enough to be living there the best.

[@MichelleWampner]

I don’t know what mental state the minds of those being hateful are in. If you plan on taking shots at someone’s loss and complete devastation of their homes is horrible, just stop. We are not casting shame on any of you living in places that have weather conditions that cause devastation. In fact there is not a place left that does not have some kind of extreme weather conditions. Offer hope, advice for rebuilding and other positive things.

[@peterepoet2535]

The definition of insanity is doing something that does not work or breaks, then doing the same thing over and over expecting better results. Well the people that build houses anywhere on the eastern seaboard or anywhere along the Gulf of have been and still are Insane. No house or business in any of these area’s belongs being built at any level below the high water mark of Twenty Five feet above Hight Tide Sea Level. That building code will save the vast majority of all this trash being left behind. Also all boats belong in either Man Made or natural Harbor tied up with single Line Cable Moorings. More dam boats bust loose from docks and bust down houses.

Everyone with negative comments on here have never lived through something like this or any natural disaster hope you do one day then tell us how it feels to lose your stuff

[@KatiePaulk-c8d]

These comments are very disappointing. You can definitely tell you’re not residents. Yes, we are used to storms. Some people have lived here their whole lives and it’s home. I lost my home and all my things but I’m not supposed to be sad about it because I should be used to it? Get over yourself. Punta Gorda as a community do not tear each other down when we go through the after effects of a storm and I’ll take that any day.

[@phakes6195]

It’s crazy to think of you live where this can and will happen that it’s a surprise, crazy.

[@KMT15]

My parents live in PG on a canal. 0 damage. They certainly got lucky but PG is not bad compared to alot of places further north. Also, PG was wayyyyyyy worse after Ian

[@Gufenaugh]

Sorry for devastation. I hope folks understand what seems to be happening to our planet.

[@gregbunker5536]

The Peace River always floods PG. No surprise here.

[@stevenballinger682]

So sad, the damage to mansions, yachts, tennis courts, private piers...

[@SWFLBoating]

lol oh I can sense the tone there

[@R1versedge]

My family home, which is a two bedroom, built 51 years ago, and only 800sqft was flooded and destroyed. It was not on a canal or water of any type. There was plenty of citizens that lost everything that were not rich, but he chose to show the public park so people could understand how powerful the surge was when they see full boats in the park.

[@kevinmorris3649]

quit selling swamp land to these people - we all know how bad punta gorda floods in summer rains not to mention hurricanes

[@Hurpdurpdipidydoo]

It’s not devastated just a bunch of cleanup Punta Gorda has done it before and it was much worse last time

[@schlirf]

Do you guys have cell phone coverage in Punta Gorda now?

[@dazylarue745]

I'm in Venice and it's still very intermittent. Sunday morn

[@richardnone5644]

its clear everything on the west coast of fl is not built to the same code

[@realdeallocal1221]

same code as what? Miami Dade has only been the standard since Andrew... After that it's only gotten tougher... There are some old buildings there that survived Charley, and they rebuilt... but flooding hits different.

[@dazylarue745]

There's a lot of OlD Florida still.

[@richardnone5644]

@@realdeallocal1221 Miami and Broward had a good hurricane code way before Andrew they adjusted after Andrew the rest of FL had no hurricane code till the 90s

[@BillyLycanWerewolfer]

The exterts say that in a few decades, parts of Florida will be under water permanently.

[@chrissiegarrison6887]

Just show the same boats 10 times. Most of the homes look way better than other places.

[@MiguelCorreia-i9j]

They want a hollywood movie..

[@johnx4181]

Cuz they got destroyed in 2002...those are since built

[@tomsantaniello6630]

Hey @chrissiegarrison6887, you even from Florida….I just spent a full day helping my wife ‘s sister in Punta Gorda remove the remnants of both Helene, and Milton. Unless you’ve been there, and seen first hand how devastated it is, don’t go by the drone only. People have lost everything, and it will take years to recover. Your statement “ Most of the homes look way better than other places” is a disingenuous to the people there.

On the bright side, now there's a beach in Punta Gorda

Boat owners should be denied insurance benefits because they had adequate time to move them to safe harbor. 🙏❤😊

[@SWFLBoating]

Fun fact, most insurance companies offer a $500 Hurricane storage protection.

[@dasgehtnicht5082]

Insurance companies require you to have your boat out of Florida during hurricane season. Thats if you can get it. Most insurance companies don’t even sell coverage in Florida and those that do are beyond expensive. Anyone who can afford knows the risks and we have the means to replace things while helping those in need.

[@bruceglaude8969]

Devastating? 😅😅😅😅 click bait!😢

[@AdrianMunch]

The boats scattered about is hilarious,

[@camy562]

[@JamesDonovan-p5r]

[@gpering1]

Oh no! My $250,000 dollar sail boat is in the front yard again! Waaaa, waaaa, waaa!

[@LindaandSanny]

You idiot

[@nibiru3645]

You folks chose to roll the dice against mother nature...and you lost. Why should any one feel sorry for your losses?

[@dasgehtnicht5082]

No one is asking for people like you to feel sorry for us. We are not new to this fool we know the risks and rebuild.
