Catastrophic Destruction Leaving Hundreds Dead In Florida Hurricane Aftermath

It wasn't supposed to be that big. They were telling everyone it would be a cat 1 and it blew up over night.
Evacuating at the last minute isn't easy for some people.

so 200 hundred looters who stayed behind to loot drowned?

Really dreading finding out how many may have died.

I was balling my eyes out with worry and just now finally heard from older sis who has a house in Naples but she is in Michigan. She said everyone is fine but she has no idea about her home in Naples or our parents brand new place on the coast, as far as damges. I can imagine they got pummeled just like everyone else..

Because the hurricane lied to them and then double crossed them...

I mean really...what a stupid fucking question...

Its a god damn hurricane and unpredicable...

But hey MSM and don lemmon got it right...its climate change...and they are milking it while people die.

LOL...fucking stupid cunts.

Because the storm shifted at the last hours and by then you’re stuck due to traffic coming out of those area and say fuck it. Everyone was mentally prepped for a Tampa strike.

For 3 or 4 days it was “Tampa Tampa Tampa” and Tampa is an hour or more north of where it hit.

Yep, ya never know. At one point they thought it would weaken before it hit land.

I experienced Michael as a Cat 2 and was well inland. As I heard the winds increasing, all I could think of was Jesus asking the apostles why were they afraid while on a boat in the storm. So I tried to keep faith and not be afraid.

My yard was covered with debris from the trees. I lost some big limbs but no trees. The power was out for 5 days. Along one highway the poles for the power lines had just snapped for about a mile.

My friend lost 2 big, old oaks. One fell on the back of her house. Her husband slept through it. She had to wake him up when the tree fell on the house.

In Florida the flooding has just started. It will be over a week in some places for it to go back to normal. Thexwater that is. For some people, it could be months.

Alot of northern transplants may have never experienced a storm like this. Its simple, if your getting hit directly then GTFO. Many of the deaths wont be reported/covered up or exagerated if they wanna take a crack at Desantis

Also, they hype every storm up so much that turns out to be nothing, so people dont believe them anymore.

It's just a fact.

They are telling the truth. Tampa was evacuated and not Fort Meyers. Lee County residents were told at the last minute that the storm had turned South of Tampa.

Yeah where have I heard this before, seems to happen every storm. You have to leave the day prior.

Sounds awful.

They will keep reciting the Climate change mantra again.

Good to know the family is safe.

Things can be replaced. Sucks, but replacable.

Can confirm. In-laws near Tampa moved everything to second story 3 days ago and evacuated.

Friends in Ft. Meyers hunkered down for a Cat 2 since the track was north of there.

We only got ONE text. "Worst I have ever seen"
We haven't heard anything else from anyone. We can only assume elderly relatives are OK. None of them are "rich".

I went through Harvey in Houston, and many Hurricanes before that. Y'all have no idea what people in FLA went through.

All you Florida haters and liberals from CA, NY cheering the destruction.... I can't wait for The Big One in Cali to wipe SF and LA off the planet and people post they are glad your friends and family are dead.

Where are people going to run to? Go to a shelter with a 100 other people for a week and sleep on a cot? Get on a interstate with the trafic packed and crawling at 20 mph? If you get to a hotel it is at least 75 a night and then you can't get back home for several days to a week until they get the roads cleared from trees and power lines.

My heart goes out to those affected by this storm.

Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties were all under evacuation orders 24 + hours before landfall.

Barely? The water table is at 18"!

They don't even approve basements in Florida anymore because unless it is 50 foot pillars it will float.

Hurricane Andrew killed 65 people.........

'Hundreds' is an extreme amount for a random storm, as an initial casualty projection.

What are we really talking? and why?

If you leave ,then you may not be allowed back in for weeks. How many of you have the money for a hotel stay for several weeks?

Dailymail as well "Hundreds Dead". Supposedly the information comes from the State Government.

I am sad to but these deaths are needless. If Hurricane 3+ is projected within 100 miles of you and you are 20 miles or less from coast you should leave no matter what weather guys say. Either that or you can get to a shelter designed to save you from all storm effects including flooding and storm surge.

Wife and I are in NW Florida. prepared 6 days ago and was ready to evacuate in 15 min or less should Ian track have shifted. 24 hours out or more we would leave.

Happy to hear this for you, happy she is okay!

Yep, people that have never done it before have no clue. I've done it and it was pure hell. It's not even possible for some people. If you have pets, elderly, handicapped, limited resources........for those people it might not even be possible.

Yet people will still point the finger at them and blame them for not being able. Sad.

This ( below) was posted last night by Happy in Nature, page 52 on the long thread.

Just found out my niece and her husband decided to stay on Sanibel where they live, despite the mandatory evacuation. Probably by then the roads would have been clogged to a standstill anyway. Nice guy, he used to own the ice cream shop in town. They aren't right on the beach, but 14 feet surge, well, the whole island is max 5 feet, so they must have been in an attic. I hope they have some water. Everybody is still waiting to hear, no cell service.

from page 52.......Re: Hurricane Ian Info
From Gateway Pundit comment:

"For those of you who have ever visited us on Sanibel Island please say a prayer for us. Our little island paradise is utterly destroyed. We evacuated but a few folks we know did not. We haven’t heard from them since 3pm high tide. Our famous 120 year old lighthouse is gone. Almost every hotel on the beach is destroyed. Even my home that is elevated 11 feet , 500 yards from the shore and built to the highest code saw a 14 ft surge hit. Right now people are on roofs and in attics and nobody can go help them until tomorrow. This was a devastating storm. I’ve been through 4 hurricanes including Charlie. I’ve seen damage from Katrina, Ike, Mathew ect. None compare to the devastation you will start to see tomorrow on tv."

Better to sleep in your car in a high non flood zone for a week than die in a hurricane.

This is what happens when the earth warms 0.0014 degrees the last 1100 years people.

More about this will be coming soon.

Yea, if your'e single, able bodied to be able to sleep in your car, or just a healthy married couple.....that's not possible for everyone.
