Absolutely INSANE footage, Simon! Those shots from Placida are incredible. It must have been nerve wracking with all that debris flying around!!!

As a Floridian and a person who lived through this horror. Thank you for documenting this experience like this. I live a bit further inland and northwest in DeSoto County. But worked at the time for Charlotte County Transit. I was assigned to run a shuttle to and from the shelter to various locations in Englewood. The place was utterly decimated. I can still see it in my mind even now.

i live just a mile north of englewood, i moved here from MA in 2022. this was definitely a storm to remember as i’ve never experienced something to this degree. when i went to englewood after the storm, i was in shock as the place was basically flattened.

Thank you so much for this footage! This looks like Gasparilla Estates, just a few hundred feet north of the bridge going over to Boca Grande. We drove through there yesterday. They have fixed almost nothing since the storm and the damage in there is mind bending.

Holy frijoles that was intense. I'm surprised so many of those homes held together at all. I've never been anywhere that has hurricanes, but I grew up in tornado country. Wind and flying debris is a killer. Thank you for posting this for others to see something they likely never will.

Hurricane Ian was a large and slow moving hurricane. There were areas just north of the eyewall around southern Sarasota County and northern Charlotte County that received persistent major hurricane conditions for over 6 hours straight! Ian brought consistent major hurricane conditions which lasted longer than in about 99% of all major hurricanes. It was a storm that just wouldn't let up!

@arthurrafferty6816 6 ай бұрын

That was me. I'm in the SE corner of North Port, just 0.6 miles north of the Charlotte County line. We had about 6-1/2 hours of eyewall winds. It went on from about 2:00 in the afternoon until around 8:30 in the evening. The worst was from about 5:30 to 7:30 during the back eyewall. The wind was blowing so hard that I could feel the vibration coming through the concrete block and the slab. It was shaking the ground like a mini-earthquake.

Hurricane season begins June 1st and we have our hurricane survival plan all set. Soon as a hurricane is predicted to hit landfall here, we are leaving Florida for a week or two. After surviving 3 of these massive storms, I learned my lesson and plan to go on holiday until the worst is over. This video serves as a good reminder that hunkering down and riding it out is only a memory.

My mom lived down there through Charley, in NFM. I'm so grateful she wasn't around to live through Ian, as her condo would've been under water, and she wouldn't have left. Thanks for the video, recognized many of the shots of the Cape. What y'all do is crazy insane, but props for your efforts, nonetheless.

@scottholman3982 5 ай бұрын

The safest place you could find to ride out the storm was a mobile home park? There is guaranteed to be debris flying around during a major storm when surrounded by trailer homes.

@mikezylstra7514 4 ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. Good place to get clobbered by a flying roof.

I doubt they were trying to be safe; they were trying to get dramatic footage of storm damage, and obviously they were very successful at that.

Important to understand that the materials used in the building of these homes are mostly lightweight and cheap. And held together with tiny metal rods we call nails and screws. So it’s no wonder such constructions fall apart in strong winds. Our building standards need vast improvements. Sheet metal roofing should be outlawed. Concrete should be a base standard of construction for homes in hurricane zones .

It was stupid intense. North Port lost bridges, due to flooding. The coastal state parks including the actual island of Cayo Costa where the hurricane made landfall, were severely flooded. You should also check out what happened to Matlacha...still nothing there 1.5 years later.

I have to wonder how many videos we will never see, because the creators did not survive the creation. Just taking video for the intent of putting it up on the Web is a willingness to sacrifice everything for a little bit of fame.
