Welcome to my channel, Today I have the opportunity to be helping in Naples, but the devastation and the stories I've heard make me realize no matter what, you always have to be grateful for what you have...... The stories are not good ones though....😞😔 My heart goes with all the families that are suffering because of this hurricane watching this in person is shocking we're here to help!

I say burn the debris. Its the only way to get rid of it.

[@flman1284]

Here is the sad reality... this area is getting the most support because it's where the money is. Go to the lesser areas and see the work not being done. Port royal has police/sheriff/private security on every street to stop looters, while the outer areas are left to fend for themselves. It's horrible for everyone what happened, but to see daily how this area has thousands working to make it look normal as soon as possible while lesser areas are still in the dark. It's gross.

[@krayte5120]

I work one of the condos here on gulf shore, as part of the 24 hr security. Something I can't emphasize enough, no photo or video that I took could compare to actually being here. Being in it genuinely felt like a really bad dream. No one where I work was hurt, and fortunately most buildings have a lobby on the first floor and the water didn't make it into the units on the second floor, some even having a first floor garage and second floor lobby so they didn't suffer too bad. A lot of our neighbors have been getting power back the last few days, and as I'm typing I'm here waiting for fpl to show up to start the re-energizing process. So to leave it on a positive note, we are recovering, pretty swiftly in some parts. It'll be months before life's normal again, but we'll make it.

Thanks for been there to help

[@stephenfabiano1242]

The Destruction is overwhelming! We lived in N. Naples for 26 yrs. and experienced every Hurricane starting with "Andrew". But, none of them had the Storm Surge that "Ian" had! We love Naples, and still have family & friends that made thru with minimal damage. Gov. DeSantis has been a blessing to all the effected areas up & down the cost of SW Florida. We pray for everyone who lost their lives, and all the people who must deal with the massive loss of their Homes, Cars and personal belongings!🙏👍🇺🇲

[@thetechnicanwithaheart1682]

I saw the global ocean temperature measurement chart that's actually live in NASA's website. Global ocean temperatures are on the rise expect to see more deadly hurricanes in the future. Hurricane Ian traveled over the loop current. It caused ocean temperatures to be 3° higher than normal. That is absolutely rocket fuel for hurricanes. In 1988 Dr James Hansen made the prediction based on physics formulas that in the future if carbon dioxide was not reduced in the atmosphere, that larger hurricanes including wetter hurricanes that are traveling slower than past hurricanes, more flooding events, bigger heat waves and larger droughts would occur. Humans are 100% responsible for burning coal oil and natural gas and releasing that carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. I want to let you know that this has happened before 55 million years ago. Dr James Hansen stated that the carbon dioxide was volcanic in nature. That it caused the Atlantic Meridian overturning circulation to come to almost a complete stop. It caused hurricane strength to extend into the category 5 and category 6 and possibly category 7 strengths. He showed evidence by pointing the camera a massive chunk of coral reef the size of a house sitting on a beach at a Caribbean Island. The water pressure from the hurricane was so great it ripped it off the bottom of the ocean and carried it up onto the beach

These hurricanes have been hitting for millions of years.The simple fact is,those barrier islands are not for human habitat. Everything is fine,until suddenly,like you see,when you live at sea level,it isn't. 🏖️🌀⛱️🌀

[@thetechnicanwithaheart1682]

@@Clintscollectiblez I researched at the pogenic climate change and I monitor Global terrestrial sea and surface temperatures of planet Earth. NASA has a link on their website and they are showing a rapid increase of sea surface temperatures in particular from the year 2000 to 2020. CO2 emissions generated by humans is a greenhouse gas. A CO2 is a byproduct of burning coal oil and natural gas which includes the diesel and gasoline. When you have a planet of 7.8 billion humans they generate last year 36 billion tons of carbon dioxide. That CO2 is added to the previous years and previous Decades of CO2. CO2 stays in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. Don't ask me why but that's what I got from at least two senior scientists. One of the senior scientists mentioned this in the documentary, Nova can we cool the planet! That's located on KZbin. It may be just the nature of carbon dioxide reacting with thermal infrared heat every time infrared heat energy hits the molecule it pushes it higher up and the atmospheric column. This prevents it from being reabsorbed by trees and terrestrial land flora and ferna. 90% of the heat energy that is in the atmosphere is reabsorbed by the world's oceans. Oceans can absorb hundred times more heat than what is in the atmosphere. The mathematical equivalent is 17 * 10 to the 22nd Jewels heat energy that is equivalent of five Hiroshima thermal nuclear bombs per second. Every year the heat absorption rate continues to increase. This will increase the extreme danger of future hurricanes.

[@tonyp0922]

Growing up in Florida and spending all my childhood 1970s and 80s summers in Florida, I've seen many hurricanes. It's not so much about climate change as it about the jet stream and the summer and water temperatures. Devastating hurricanes have been ripping through the Caribbean and Florida and on record since 1523... Thee strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall on the state was the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. Hurricane Ian 2022 is definitely in the top ten. When I was a kid, Captiva Island was a wildlife sanctuary and Sanibel was barely inhabited by permanent residents, hell they didn't even spray pesticides on these islands... they should've never allowed massive construction to occur... but money and greed usually exceed logical common sense.... until fear shows up, then everyone gets smart after it's too late.... damn that rear view mirror is always correct....

[@thetechnicanwithaheart1682]

@@tonyp0922 I just saw an amateur photographer hiding behind the structure of a building showing what winds can do to the metal framework of a gas station Pump Station roof. The winds were 150 mph from Hurricane Charley that's correct name. It was unbelievable and I was shocked I was really shocked that the frame the structural part of the roof stood in place. But it shredded ripped out the panels from the metal roof. It was ungodly loud. Yeah I I do want to say to everybody that I do research anthropogenic climate change. Not quite at the University level I mean I've had kinematic physics. But atmospheric physics is on a whole new level. I don't really need to look at the math I can just see the increasing trend of more record rainfall flooding events. More flooding events that are occurring in Australia in the last 20 years than the last 120 years. 20 years ago NOAA created a ocean temperature monitoring system called the Argo float system. These are a little robots that actually sink in the depths of the ocean and measure the salinity because the ocean salinity is actually divided does not mix very well. So it transmits back 3,000 temperature readings to the satellites. The receiving station accepts this data and then of course it sent to a server. I would assume that Noah and universities take that raw data and his GPS location and show the world that the global oceans are actually increasing in temperature to very dangerous levels. This is partially why hurricane Ian was so destructive. The hurricane I crossed over the loop current that comes in from the tip of Africa and it was three degrees hotter than normal. That 3° is huge when it comes to energy from the ocean. That is why the winds reached 150 mph and the storm surge was up to 12 ft High. Hurricanes like this will become very common in the near future and increase in wind speeds and storm surge height. There might be a few hurricanes that are weaker after this one but overall within the next hundred years they'll be significantly larger. Carbon dioxide the waste product that comes from your tailpipe of your boat of your car I'll planes train ships everything that burns coal oil and natural gas is contributing to the overheating of planet Earth by trapping Heat and not allowing it to go into space.

Very informative video, and well done. We Canadians enjoy going to this area to look at the beautiful homes from time to time. We understand that many of these people who have 10-$15 million dollar homes down on that beach lose too... and their loss is real, just like the rest of us, but chances are they are not wondering where their next meal is coming from, unlike those poor souls who lost everything in the mobile parks or wooden neighborhoods... My winter home was damaged in South Fort Myers and I sit there and fret about it being repaired, but I realize I am being selfish, and I know that we are lucky, and its those with no insurance and no safety net that are suffering the most and all we should do collectively is try to help one another.

The Insurance companies and Co-Part should tow the damaged cars and boats to a large lot for auctions. After Katrina the damaged cars were left under the freeways where they were vandalized. When furniture and appliances are left at the curb, they should be considered free to the takers before being hauled away. What's left over should be taken to the dump. Separate aluminum and steel from the plastics for recycle then rebuild on higher ground. For Sanidel and Fort Myers find a architect and Contractor that can build a reinforced steel trailer to withstand storm surge and bolt them to the concrete foundations. Somebody invent a 3 ft high rubber band skirt to surround a house, especially the doors to be used in the event of a flood. I pray for the families suffering in Florida.

[@kennixox262]

@@YourPoolHomeRealtor I think that modern buildings are designed to withstand a storm surge and frequently the ground floor is designed to "wash away" without damaging the large concrete structure holding up the rest of the building. My view, don't build at the beach unless you go high.

Thank God my mother had the resources to rebuild already I drove from Houston with all my dry out equipment and got there two days after the storm hit was able to save her house then my brother-in-law came in and put her back she's already been through the first coat of mud and she's getting ready to be painted real soon thank the Lord.

[@rodcoulter997]

Maybe we should rethink where we build. 100 years ago or longer, people didn’t build “right on the sand.” For obvious reason. Visit Savannah, Charleston, or many East Coast cities, and look at where most of the “historic homes” are, that are still there.

Not very bright are we. Living on beaches and islands and thinking a storm won't do anything. Then we just build more and more. People should see the before and after photos before we developed places like these and put up home after home right next to one another. We have destroyed more of this state than any storm ever has.

This beautiful area will eventually rebound. The mindset should be it’s hurricane alley. Expect it to have its way. All you can do, is build structures that can withstand this devastation to the best of man’s ability. It will happen again, prepare for it, build accordingly OR move to higher elevation that is safer. I don’t know if buildings can be constructed to withstand this kind of a storm. Some building are fine, it seems, concrete structures with reinforced steel and well anchored foundations. Thick plate glass windows with steel reinforced shutters. Lobbies that can handle water surges with all living areas built above surge zones. Stronger docks for boats and warehouses where yachts can be stored indoors during hurricane seasons. All structures should be certified for hurricane preparedness and up graded building codes. Yes, all this is very expensive but think about the cost for cleanup and reconstruction. Will it cost in the billions ?? I expect a mass exodus of people moving from older condos and those buildings being torn down but replaced with luxury units. Expect the newer condos to be in the millions. It will turn out to be a rich man’s playground. It would be nice to build affordable concrete homes with carports and garages on ground floor with living areas above surge levels in certain designated hurricane alley zones. I can’t see matchbox mobil homes ever being allowed to be rebuilt. Who would finance this ? Who would want to insure it, etc ? This whole mess is extremely sad. Prayers go out to everyone involved .

Ian must be one of the most expensive hurricanes in America's history. The government needs to help cover the costs. This is too much for the insurance companies and communities to bear.

[@1983dmd]

No, the governement is not here to pay for material losses of uninsured people. The authorities have to pour money repairing those costly infrastructures....Don't cry over insurance companies....The vast majority are safe and will still make money...I will propose this to you instead : If the governement will cover losses for uninsured people, I ask the same governement to issue me a credit for all those years I had to pay my insurance premium and realize today I did not need insurance since the government is now paying for uninsured people's damages...This is unfair and absurb.

[@CynthiaWord-iq7in]

In Florida? The insurance companies should be in jail--they already had been over-writing, and double/triple/quadruple charging and filing bankruptcy criminally since February 2020 Covid gave the swindlers a way out...with governor's blessing--they own us! 1000 sq' ft inland home Tampa, from $875 yr to $1400, to $1850, to $3900 in 3 years, then filed bankruptcy in me...leaving me with a "worthless " $50k check, the lawyer/dealer refused to sign... and then they filed--there isn't a truck they don't know.
