Storm Surge Overtakes Parts Of Cape Coral, FL - 9/28/2022 

This is my home town. Born and raised in the same home as well. Our home suffered minor damage compared to what other people have lost. My family had decided last minute to evacuate to the Hertz Arena to ride of the storm. Worst 24 hours of my life. Not knowing if my friends were going to be ok and not knowing if we were even going to have a home to return to. It breaks my heart seeing the places I’ve grown up in COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I was planning on calling Florida my forever home, but after I graduate high school and college, I don’t think I will be sticking around here. I don’t even want to think about having to go through the fear and experience of something like this ever again. Which is why I will most likely be moving out of florida. This was such an unexpected, devastating, and terrifying storm. I would never wish this on anyone. I have been so upset for the past few days just knowing that nothing will ever be the same. In the end though, God spared us and we are very lucky to still have a home and a roof over our heads with all our stuff still here. My heart will always break every time I remember this disaster. My prayers are with you all ❤

I am so proud of the Storm Chasers and social media. Out there coordinating efforts and helping people . Thank you ! You are now entered into THE BIG Balls Hall of Fame !!!!

Thank you for posting this. Your the first I found showing anything.

Insurance company: “We Do Not Cover That”

My thoughts and prayers are with you Florida!!!😢♥️😢♥️😢♥️😢😢

I visited Florida for the very first time this past summer. It was so beautiful and so hard to leave. But I am so glad I live in the Midwest. I can't imagine having to deal with this kind of destruction. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected down there 🙏

Water is life, it is an integral part of living organisms and plants. "Life is animated water." The ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus, who lived in the VII-VI centuries BC, rightly considered water the beginning of all beginnings.

cape coral was my home in 1991 at 12 years old. now i live back in canada. i pray for these people.

God BLESS you guys this is what my people in the Caribbean go through every year peace and blessing from New york

THANKS FOR DOING & POSTING THIS OUT !!!

Many prayers from Puerto Rico

How terrible. Pray for a safe and speedy recovery 🙏

I can't imagine being inside a home waiting for that thing to pass. I am sure there were some pretty terrified people there. I am glad help is heading their way.

This is absolutely terrifying and I pray for Florida.

Thank you for posting. I live here and am just getting enough cell signal now to see what Ian actually did. It was terrifying.

Yes I just bought a house and couldn’t find insurance since the roof was over 15yrs old but it’s still in good condition luckily I have no damage

Mother nature runs the show

Thanks for any help

Main stream media has definitely dropped the ball on this hurricane, thanks for not letting it go guys, stay safe

The truck overturned is crazy!

Hey, Did you stop to see if that trucker was ok? Was he ok? Looked like you stopped, I’m hoping you did.

Was the trucker okay?

😢😢 I hope everyone is okay God bless everyone

THANKS! SHARED THIS OUT 9/30/22. AT 9:14AM EST.

Whitecaps on neighborhood streets looks post apocalyptic. Sending love from Mi

Thanks for sharing this...

PLEASE PLEASE KEEP UPDATEING>>>>> THANK YOU SO MUCH>

where in the cape is this?

I thought this was from today, can anyone please update for this area

Used to live there. Glad I moved.

I stayed for Katrina and I’ll never do that again. Wanna live and learn more. Lol but my heart goes out to everyone in Florida

Praying 🙏🏻 for all

What area in cape was flooded.?

I am from New Orleans ,I went through Katrina. My thoughts and prayers are with my neighbors in Florida. I know it won't be easy, but structures and houses can be rebuilt. Stay as positive as you can and be thankful for your friends and family.

Wow, so sad. Brilliant coverage. Thank you.

Prayers 🙏💜 to Cape Coral, Florida from MI 🙏

Damn... Chiquita BLVD Wonder the intersection... I love Cape Coral but this is difficult to watch. Hope (and sure of it) the place will recover soon.

How were they able to get such close pictures

Whe. You hear that howling wind you know the wind is >100 mph. When you hear the debris flying into your home you realize no matter what you did to prepare for the storm, it wasn't enough. CAT 4 or 5 coming your way, just flea. If fleeing you need to do it before formal orders to evacuate. Otherwise, your in prolonged, slow moving traffic. Which can put you at greater risk.

God please safe Florida's everyone

How is South 46th street? Does anyone know?

This is an hour ago?

🙌🏾Be safe Floridians🙌🏾❤️

On of the most destructive storm to hit florida

How can you drive in that condition 150 miles winds???

0:35 - Surfside Blvd. Aptly named.

It would be interesting to know the altidude of the land at the video segments. Great stuff taken with great risk. Thank you!

Terrifying footage taken at great risk. Although I do wonder at your sanity!!! 😚😲

Oh my word. Hope everyone got out safely.

Jesus Christ we dodged a bullet here in the Tampa Bay Area. This was going to be us originally. Very scary to think about. I just hope the death toll isn’t bad. My dad lived in the Ft.Myers area when I was growing up. It’s hard to see all this.

Prayers going out to this town

Storm surge is definitely scary and fast moving. Damn.

My daughter, son-n-law sent text 7pm 28th had left home to go to business as on higher ground Cape Coral. Still no word. Nor on her x Mother-n-law in Ft. Myers. Gra daughter is 22 and unknown if with her parents or fiancee elsewhere. Been praying for 3 days...hoping get a temporary cell tower out to Cape Coral soon.

I hear Florida is a great place to live and pass by in

UNFATHOMABLE. 😭😭😭😭 OUTSTANDING FOOTAGE🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

May your life be filled with serenity, and good news. May God bless you abundantly mani bhai - Lahore District, Punjab, Pakistan

That's where my people are.

More insurance companies will close up after this mess

Please be careful! Any pictures of "churches"?

I always thought that tornados were bad in Arkansas but wow.!!! Our prayers for the southeast US.

Where's?

Once thats all it took for me , I left Florida. I lived by the grace of God. I will never go back.

The cost of living in S.W. Florida

This is so sad God Bless Florida 🙏 🙏

I have probably a stupid question...seeing that there are lots of cars in front of houses during this, does that mean that many people didn't leave/evacuate?

awesome power !

I used to live in Cape Coral about 10yrs ago near the beach. I have family there still there. The hole time I lived there I never ever had to go threw a hurricane like his one. I now live in Louisiana had go for threw alot here Great Flood of 2016 and a few hurricanes that didn't have this kind of devastating effect. But damn I prayer for all you Floridians! My heart goes out to you all!🙏❤️✝️

I had 8 feet of storm surge, 7 miles up the canal system. water stopped at my front door.

🙏🏾🙏🏾

What is hard to watch of this, there is no higher ground for these people to go to to find some safety. The flooding must be just everywhere. Praying for everyone.

i hope you checked to see if someone was in that truck.

I’m frightened to ask what became of the SW region of Cape Coral. My family has heartfelt history in that area. Does any site have a flooding damage map in development? It’s understood that it takes time to make it happen. The photos of the total inundation to first story levels in Ft. Myers are heartbreaking.

Very sad, my prayers are with everyone affected there 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Wild!

Do you use fishing depth radars?

Who drives around in a Hurricane?

You gotta get pictures of the “Gatornado”.

You guys are nuts to be out there!!!🤯 May God protect you!❤️

Saludos dsd Costa Rica.💔😭

Nature's fury is like God's fury. None can stand against it. Prayers.

В Святом Евангелие сказано " И воздастся вам по делам вашим "🙏

May everyone be safe and sending best wishes from Mandalay, Myanmar.

Where in Cape Coral was this? I lived there for 10yrs but up near the Cape Coral Hospital. Went thru Hurricane Charley in 2004. That was scary enough. Ian was much worse. Praying for everyone in SWFL.

Any news around SE 2nd Terrace, Cape Coral? Lost family around there 😭

Wow! Great footage!! You did an amazing job!!

So, This hurricane got multiple tickets, there was a sign of 'Speed limit 35' and '30' - violated, then there was a Stop sign - didn't stop - violated

It,s absolutely terrifying 😳

Where are the flamingos?

Your copper roof blew rite off sir. I seen it.

Omg I think this is my aunts neighborhood

Insane.. I feel so bad for those poor people down there.
