Wednesday marked a significant sign of progress three weeks after Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida and carved a path of destruction many still struggle to comprehend.
Governor Ron DeSantis announced the Sanibel Causeway would reopen on Wednesday, 10 days ahead of the Florida Department of Transportation's original date and two days ahead of the revised date of Oct. 21.
The causeway had been restricted to power crews and first responders in recent days but is now reopened to all people living on Sanibel.

This Women is one of the most optimistic and humble individual I have ever seen! Literally out of a terrible destructive situation for nearly everyone on those islands I didn’t hear anything besides “This isn’t that bad” “It could have been much worse and it is for others” and she had a smile on her face as well! Really nice to see that 😊

@Manifestees Год назад

I am so Grateful she found some of her family heirlooms intact and ok. I loved her hope and optimistic attitude toward her home

@jane156 Год назад

Bless her as she begins a new journey walking in faith and gratitude.

@debrakleid5752 Год назад

After finding that she had 3 feet of water in her home and she was able to leave with a smile and optimism! That’s something to admire as most of us couldn’t do that. We also had Hurricane Ian in New Smyrna and many had terrible flooding in their homes that were up to almost 5 feet. Can’t even imagine. We lucked out with a lot of flooding in our streets that turned into rivers but our home was high enough the water got to our back door!

@deborahcorreale352 Год назад

Bless her and everyone else in Florida who is rebuilding after Ian. She is so optimistic, I almost feel over when she said “oh wow its not that bad the water only came up 3 feet.” She turned everything into a positive. ❤

That’s amazing that the art survived.

Bless you, Anne-Marie.

@linda.p.8540 Год назад

This is such a sad scenario. She was one lucky lady and is so thankful.

@Nico-wg7dd Год назад

Now it’s just cleanup for her & taking down whatever walls had water damage. She is very lucky, but even if you go out for a walk just seeing all the devastation whether it’s minor or major still takes on your mind.

@LibertarianLatina Год назад

This is how I felt when I walked into my home. It was a disaster but I was so much better off than most. She and I are lucky our homes are cinderblock and made for FL. 🌴🌞

@treenamclean8055 Год назад

Thank you for showing the truth of hope. Not making a rating off a tragedy. So happy for the women.

@djbrettbsu Год назад

Thank you for this. Cannot wait to return to Sanibel soon. ❤

@amyabbott454 Год назад

Beautiful story I am happy she still has her family heirlooms ❤

@1linkbelt Год назад

Only went up 3 feet?

@chrismellon127 Год назад

Tht safe is amazing!!!! Glad for her!!!

@drenee9716 Год назад

Wow, If we all could have her positive attitude!!! 💖💖 Made me step back and look at my attitude. 🤔

@loriantunes7074 Год назад

So happy for her, what is most dear to her heart was saved ❤️

@mrgreene3290 Год назад

wow, this lady is one of the very lucky one's, she'll be able to recover so very much of her family possessions. Furniture...most of that can be replaced. Family mementos - photos, even some books, can be conserved if the time and effort is done to recover them... in some cases. Best of luck to all from the Ian storm path.

@oakiemac Год назад

Praying for her and the others that suffered so much lose.

@toryberch Год назад

Yay! Some happiness from what turned so much upside down 😃

@screechingwind114 Год назад

That safe is incredibly unique.

@manuelpinzon9854 Год назад

3 feet is a lot, you will get Mold in everywhere, foundation will goes bad in few year, drywall is gone.

@dwellspompano Год назад

I pray she and her house recover quickly.

@colincraig953 Год назад

What an amazing attitude! Glass half full. Stay positive and things will always work out.

@maguisolares9268 Год назад

Esta señora es bien agradecida... Ella demuestra contentamiento bajo la Pena..y Ella se muestran feliz y positiva y dice: is not to bad, my house is ok... Ella es UN Gran buen ejemplo de tener agradecimiento en las Buenas I en las malas... y tambien vi una hermosa biblia.. Ese es un.buen.espiritu de vida ..

@joyceprendergast9270 Год назад

You are truly blessed🙏 it make me happy to see you smile as you left the island knowing that all your families possessions are safe. ❤

@r0se_777 Год назад

Bless this lady's heart✨

@ginadelsasso288 Год назад

I don't understand why people don't pack up everything before these storms? Even if your house survives, you still have so much clean up to do afterwards. It's just easier if all your stuff is packed up and protected. I would be such a minimalist if I lived near the beach and had to evacuate every year due to storms. This lady was thinking about retiring....she should think about passing down some of those family heirlooms before they get destroyed in the next storm and really simplify her home.

@bobbistevens5648 Год назад

Hope she considers rebuilding home on stilts.

@kathymc234 Год назад

Wouldn't that be a great idea?

@aylamoore2447 Год назад

Cheap homes available in Sanibel and captive. I'm in Cape Coral and for sale signs are going up. New homes that were being built are continuing to be built, just 5 days after the storm.

@JeffBolen Год назад

I’m happy she is ok. I had a foot of water in my house in Cape Coral and I have to look for a place to move to. My landlord isn’t fixing the house and wants to sell. Houses are hard to find because of all the inflated prices and gouging that’s going on. I want to stay in Cape Coral but may not be able to.

@HughMadBro Год назад

She dealt with that so well... that safes the coolest! I hope they rebuild!

@sandraleigh4023 Год назад

Difficult task ahead but not insurmountable. Best wishes for her journey back to normalcy.

@LindsayLola_ Год назад

Such a positive mindset!

@oldsoldier8139 Год назад

All the best to you Ann Marie. 2023 will be your testimonial of God's Grace

@robm4469 Год назад

Lesson learned never store important things in Florida because it's not safe.

@rosarioclarin5061 Год назад

The most important is you save your money where you can withdraw from ATM ✍️

@janallen3673 Год назад

WOW, that was quick!!!

@alexandrawhitelock6195 Год назад

Sanibel is gorgeous…BUT…all these barrier islands need to protection for residents INLAND. Wish they would ban any rebuilding …..🤷‍♀️

@Patrick-yh5yd Год назад

Imagine if Ian would have stopped for 4 days over Sanibel like Dorian did over the Bahamas did in 2019? We are lucky it moved thru.

@vango7499 Год назад

Wow I worked in Lani Kai hotel bar in 2003

Tengan cuidado... escuché que a cada rato se levantan mas huracanes... Cuidense mucho... Cyuden sus animalitos...que son Los mas afectados.

Did you pick up the bible ..

@Ladythyme Год назад

Omg the journalistic narrative is kinda nauseating…makes it sound more dramatized, fictional and theatrical than a description that tells it like it is…..glad for once someone found her home in comparatively decent shape.

@laurenshanahan6652 Год назад

Dramatized. Do you have any clue what these poor people have suffered? Have a heart

@tebollenbacher Год назад

You dont build on a sandbar and expect to have that temporary house to last.
