THOSE BOATS YOU SAW AT THE END ARE NORMALLY 20 FEET BELOW THAT. SO BUT THAT BRIDGE IS COMPLETELY GONE IN THE TOWN IS WIPED OUT. BROOKFIELD’S MIKE ANDERSON NEVER PAID MUCH ATTENTION TO FLORIDA HURRICANES, AND THESE ARE ALL PICTURES OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE UNTIL HE BOUGHT A TOWNHOUSE TWO YEARS AGO ON NORTH CAPTIVE ISLAND NEAR FORT MYERS, JUST IN TIME FOR THE WORST HURRICANE THERE IN 100 YEARS. GOT TO BE CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, RIGHT? I MEAN, YEAH, I’VE GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK THAT THERE WAS A HOUSE THAT WAS LOST COMPLETELY, A FEW THAT LOST ROOFS, A LOT OF COSMETIC DAMAGES, SHINGLES, SIDING, GOLF CARTS, BOTH SQUASHED AND LOOKING LIKE A WAR ZONE. MIKE SPENT THE LAST FEW DAYS ONLINE IN TRYING TO GET THE LATEST INFORMATION ON HURRICANE IAN AND JUST THIS AFTERNOON LEARNED THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN SPARED THE WORST OF IT. SOME OF THE ISLAND GOT 6 TO 8 FEET OF STORM SURGE. IT LOOKS LIKE OURS ONLY GOT ABOUT 3 TO 4 FEET, WHICH THEN WOULD JUST DAMAGE THE ITEMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR, WHICH IS A BLESSING COMPARED TO WHAT I’VE SEEN FROM OTHERS. STILL, WITH BRIDGES GONE AND POWER EXPECTED TO BE OUT FOR WEEKS, MIKE STILL DOESN’T KNOW IF IT WILL EVER BE THE SAME. EVERY HURRICANE IS SERIOUS AND IT’S EVEN MORE SERIOUS WHEN IT TOUCHES YOU PERSONALLY. BUT THIS IS MONSTROUS. HE’LL SEE FOR HIMSELF JUST HOW MONSTROUS. IN THE NEXT FEW
