UPDATED Mexico Beach before and after hurricane Michael 

I've shared this with several of our friends and family. Our family had Beach homes and have been coming to MB since the late fifties. Been through a few hurricanes, but it was really hard to see the horrible destruction Micheal left. That drive through Tyndall that use to be beautiful pine tree lined ... But it's coming back! MB Strong! Thanks for sharing this!

What a video! Synchronization was excellent. Thank you

This video is so awesome!! I was there on a disaster relief mission 3 months after hurricane Michael and saw with my own eyes the devastation the city suffered. Watching your video makes my heart happy to see how the vegetation is already grown and how most have rebuild from ashes. Thank you for taking the time to post, it is beautifully made!

Thanks so much for this video. Three of my favorite places are still gone, Buena Vista Motel, Toucan's, and Sharon's Cafe. Looking forward to El Governor finishes next year so we can return. This has been our favorite Florida town since we discovered it in 1994.

It appears that Mexico Beach is coming back, stronger than before. It will take time!

Wow! This is a really good video. That Hurricane sure did do some damage!

That storm took so much, it's infuriating. Especially all those trees that are no longer there. The town lost a lot of it's charm but it's still my little slice of heaven and always will be. I used to work at that subway across from toucans way back in the day.

a very beautiful drive video. lovely

What a cool video, we just moved to the area. We thought there was a lot less in Mexico Beach than there was pre Michael.

I took a drive to Mexico Beach while at a resort in PCB just a few short weeks ago. 4.5 years later and scars still remain on the landscape from Tyndall AFB to where I drove when visiting MB.

Great video! Thanks for sharing! My hubby & I were there 10 days before Michael hit. We returned one year later and again this past September. Mexico Beach is our favorite place to vacation.

Fascinating recovery!

NICE SOUNDTRACK PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND............. SHUFFLE ALONG TO NEAL YOUNG Michael made landfall on a workday locally in Metro Detroit and made the prediction of a cat 3 before stunning forecasters for its ferocity that was upgraded cat 5 virtually as it had made landfall. Witnessed HURRICANE FLOYD IN 1999. As was the welcome I received in Fort Myers 1 year after Hurricane Francis. Still, trampolines covered literally every home. Well done storm chasers.

Proof that building a house on stilts doesn’t mean it will survive a Cat. 5 monster! It just blew those houses right off those concrete pilings and ripped them to shreds.

Insane how much vegitation is gone

I was in Carrabelle when it hit.

Most of the differences aren't visible from this video. They are found on the streets the turn off to the right.

6:58 😢

My god, what does this bode for Fort Myers Beach?
