That was awesome drone video it looks like they are making some progress hopefully everything will be cleaned up before next hurricane season God bless all those effected by this and a speedy recovery ahead.
nobody forgot about them, but Puerto Rico is destroyed. it will take them years to get back to what they were. Texas was months ago, so they'll fix that. Florida got hit pretty bad, it will take them longer than Houston but they will get it fixed. Puerto Rico is the worst because all those people have no where to go, whereas most of Florida and Texas will be fine. ya it's pretty sad, but those people can either start over somewhere else or they can return when most of the damage has been fixed. so nobody forgot about it. don't be like Donald Trump thinking you can throw toilet paper at the situation.
I booked a trip to the Keys for July. I live 5 hours away where Irma took my roof but all now has been restored and I'm truly excited about giving back to the Keys by visiting for the first time. I could of picked a different vacation spot but I chose the Keys this year because I want to give back to such a beautiful place I hope others do too! This is one way we can help.
Never thought a storm could be so powerful till we got hit here in coastal Georgia. Knowing how bad we got hit, we can only imagine how bad it was for Florida.
when you see these photos the one thing to remember is dont build wood frame houses and no trailer homes in the keys elevated concrete block richard in fort Lauderdale
richard none wow somebody else was Common Sense cool I was just going to say don't build your house on Sand with toothpicks and plastic siding in Hurricane Alley you know it happens every year right
John I'd like to say that you took some great photos of the destruction in the Florida Keys. (Wish there could have been a way to label each of the Islands that you covered).... They have a really longtime to go before they are considered what they would call normal! My heart goes out to each and everyone of you that are suffering. (And I'm not talking about Rich ones that can afford to just build immediately but to the hard working families)
Thank you, The Keys are slowly recovering stores and restaurants are opening back up. and I will say people in the Keys are in good spirits and happy to see visitors returning
Hurricane Irma. My mother lost her house was destroyed. My dad passed away a couple weeks after that he was sad. And my mother pushing her 70s she is living in a motorhome on the property. She didn't have no insurance, she signed up for rebuild Florida hopefully her little house will come soon. And this was East Rockland key, if I had the money I will build her house already
Great video. We lost our Fifth Wheel on Cudjoe Key and our boat was damaged, but we fared better than many and look forward to replacing the Rv and enjoying the Keys again.
Hi John, thanks for sharing such spectacular imagery of the devastation. You have really brought home the scope and intensity of the damage and some of the shots of the barren landscape are truly emotional. Might I ask what type of camera and lens was used to shoot his? Truly amazing.
I was saying that to myself when I was there filming that would take some time to haul all the debris out not a lot of open land down there to store stuff has to be trucked out. There was a lot !!! The landfills I did see were already pretty much at max capacity .
Thanks for posting. Very sad. I was wondering how The Chesapeake did and you have some great footage from 2:16-2:30. We love it there and go there every October and May and had to cancel this year. Can't wait to be back.
Not a chance pal shit everywhere and still piling up everyday gonna take 2 -3 yrs at least and the canals are full of crap too i live the 22 mm I drive us1 everyday
What hotel is that @ 2:27 - 2:34? It looks like this one resort we rented jet skis from on Islamadora. Such a great vibe at the keys. Hopefully they have recovered.
I only made it down as far as Big Pine Key so I can't say how Key West faired. I will be going down to Key West next weekend and I hear it's back up and running now so more footage on the way soon !
I live in Key West. We are 100% recovered down here, except for a few isolated unlucky properties that a tree fell on. The trees here took the brunt of the storm and have already bloomed new leaves. It’s hard to even tell we had a storm in Key West. While your video looks well done, it would be more responsible of you to make it clear that your video was NOT from all the keys, just the middle Keys. But here in Key West, we’re still experiencing a financial storm as bad news coverage sent the wrong message that KW looked like your video. So please come visit Key West and stay a while. We need your business now more than ever, and our paradise is still beautiful. See keywestchristmas.org.
Glad you put people in the know. Seeing all the videos of destruction from South America to Florida gives wrong idea. I imagine a little tourism would be a good thing.
I suppose everyone is waiting for insurance claims.. it’s going to take a while to clean all that stuff up. It’s very sad the mess that hurricane made..
And this wasn't even NEAR a very powerful storm. If one ever does hit in my lifetime; it'll be 10 years to get back to normal and rebuild it all. Awful to think of, but we have them so often around the world no one even cares one tiny bit anymore except for the 30 seconds they're forced to look at it on the news.

I lived on Big Pine once, real close to the "No Name Pub", on a canal offa' Sunset, on Watson Blvd....I would have been 10 feet underwater..........The Key Deer ? Just sayin'
Randall Johnson I went to Key West, saw the Hemingway Home 🐈, visited some of the other 🔑, but I wouldn’t want to live there full time. I hope they recover.
