Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I get to see a glimpse of our home!!!! We are still standing and have a roof. You have no idea what blessing you are today! ❤. I’m standing her crying with joy
I'm glad if I can offer a small glimpse into the area for those who aren't able to make it out there. I've lived in the area all my life and spent a lot of time down there. In the morning I tried helping some families search through the rubble for their loved ones that they weren't able to contact as emergency personnel weren't present at the time. It's certainly an unfortunate situation. The roads are covered with sand, cell services are down, and power is out. I'll try to get some more footage everyday to cover the areas everyone is requesting if possible. Charging batteries from the car and using 5G to upload as the power grid and internet is down in many areas. I had tire blowouts from the debris and wasn't able to return today as I had originally planned.
Many thanks Vince. I was hoping to see my house on the bay end of Palermo to see if i still had a roof. Maybe in the next one! You are performing a real public service posting this.
Hello! Can you go towards the Diamond Head? I go on a family reunion (with about 100 family members) every year to the Estero Island Beach Club and the building means a lot to my family and I. Thank you for doing this and hope you're safe.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. We were just now able to get a good view of our lot and dock. We just started our build so our loss is much less than so many. This will be useful for us as we are also new to the entire FEMA process. Truly heartbreaking. Again, thank you from miles away.
Thank you for taking these videos of several different areas. It is hard to process this awful destruction. Your videos are helping us see just what people are seeing down there. Its all so very sad! 😔
Thanks for doing this!! Another area of interest is beach side homes near junction of Estero blvd and gulf road. we got the folks out but would love to see the condition of the homes. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for sharing this content for everyone who can’t check on properties. My parents community is just beyond the end of this video, any chance you collected footage around Smugglers Cove mini golf, across the street is Bayside community. We’ve heard it’s gone, but holding out hope. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video. Could you head over around Connecticut/ Mid Island Drive? My family has a very sentimental house there. We would like to see if it is still there or if it’s gone. Praying for everyone affected by this disaster.
One of the times in desperation where people can get together and cry out in praise to God. Let it all go God way, in having homes and others together. God want his people to be worshippers ...Love you all...praying..👏😪
Looks like Doc Fords survived (could see it at 2:10 in the video). Thank you for posting this. Please do more like this, not for me, but others worried from afar.
Do you have any footage you clipped from the beginning or the end? It looks like you were stationed directly outside of our house. Two cars in the road?
As noted below, I'll be glad to Venmo you for footage around our property, north end of FMB. Also, big thanks for these videos; they tell a much better story than anything else.
Thank you so much for this footage. Would you be able to go the opposite direction, toward 466 Estero Blvd? I'm sure they are gone, but need to see location of the Paradise Cottages. Me and my 3 sisters were there just last week. Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this Vince. Much appreciated. My family has a property near Jefferson St. and Mid Island close to where Junkanoo used to be (heard it's gone now sadly) but are unable to get there to see the damage. Would be happy to pay for a drone video like of their street to understand the extent of the damage. Do you have a contact email to coordinate this (assuming you are willing to do it!) Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you much for sharing these videos! This is the first footage I’ve been able to find if San Carlos Island. If at all possible could you go over 1130 Main Street? It’s just out of view in this video. I have t been able to get in contact with my family at all and I’m in WA. I will happily Venmo/PayPal you for your time & services! Thank you!
Could you fly south end eventually? My family has place (maybe had) on 6000 block of Estero by flamingo inn. If you ever go that way it would be appreciated.
Vince, Any chance you could fly over san carlos RV park. We have(had) an RV there. Also, could you fly over to the west side of Emily lane. You can see the rv park from the corner of Emily. My sister has a place on the south west side of emily on the bay and looking to see whats left or whats left of the houses on the point right there. Thank you for taking these videos as we won't be able to get there to assess for a few weeks! God Bless you!
I would love to see San Carlos RV Park too... we stay on a site all the way in the back end of the park. Would be interesting to see what's still there and what is gone.
Hi, I imagine that you are getting a lot of requests, but any chance you can check the houses in Compass Lane? It is about 2 blocks from Publix. Thanks!
If you do more videos, can you try to show Third Street from SOB's/Old San Carlos Blvd going west to Bonita St and Harbor Ct? Friends have 3 properties on Third Street and have not been able to find any pics or videos of their property yet. Thank you! In this video the camera turns right at their area and it just got missed. They are behind the three big Moss Marina blue buildings. Thank you!
Could you please capture some video of the Boardwalk Capers high rise on San Carlos Blvd? We are trying to see how the building is doing. We have a family member who is still in the building and does not have the ability to turn on their phone. Thanks in advance!
San Carlos Dr. in the first and last shot. A lot of shots of the North End (N of bridge) of Estero Blvd. Times Square, The Pier Old San Carlos Dr. Harbor Ct. Bonita St. Matanzas St and Ct
Thanks so much for this so sad but great footage if you happen to go down estoro my inlawa property is on 278 Ohio ave that is the street the LIKI TIKI on it like the 10th house on cannel really wanting to see the house boat and boat dock would be happy to Vemno money also
Hey Vince could you contact me! I am willing to compensate for some photos of our family home on Dakota Ave. I have found a video and can see our guest house is standing, but there was also a house in the middle of the road in front of where the main cottage would be. Can’t tell if it is ours or not 😔 Trees block it in that video. These are some great images you captured!
Hey Vince Can you fly down to the mid Island area to publix. I'm looking for a video of Seaside which is directly across the street from Publix. Five-story building
Do you mind if I use some of your videos for a tik tok my my page? I have like no followers but I would credit your RU-vid page… Your videos are the firsts ones my family has seen of our house… it’s washed 300 ft into the neighborhood behind it :(
Thank you so much for what you're doing, we're in Ohio and don't know if our house is still standing - like so many others. We're trying to determine if we should come down and try to save anything or if it's gone - any chance you can take a trip down Nancy Lane, near Parrot Key - THANK YOU. I know others have offered and you've declined, but I'd also be happy to Venmo you for your work - Thank you!
Please label where you are. The landmarks have all changed. You are our eyes. We can’t be there for who knows how long. I’m looking for pictures across from Moss Marina to see if our home is still standing. Matanza Court specifically
It starts on San Carlos Island overlooking Doc Ford's which is on the left, then goes across the north bridge to Estero Island. Hangs a right towards Matanza Court, you can see the reddish roofed building at 1:08 on the bottom corner, that is Matanza court area on that land mass. Then it turns left towards going back to the bridge showing Time Square and the pier at 1:52. Then back to San Carlos Island.
Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for? In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look. It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world. We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet..
Thanks sooooo much for these. We have no other way of knowing how our homes are. Please try Ohio Ave by the Liki Tiki. Our home is on that (was on) canal
