Today is the one year anniversary of Hurricane Ian. In this video, I show you videos of what I experienced as Hurricane Ian hit my home in Cape Coral, FL. I then travel down the streets of Cape Coral including the Yacht Club, Cape Harbor, and Tarpon Point Marina areas to show you the damage and destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Ian. My heart goes out to those affected by Hurricane Idalia.
I hope residents in know what to expect and prepare for hurricanes.

What I don't understand is why you would direct that at people who were fortunate enough to not lose their homes in subsequent hurricanes. They aren't at fault for Katrina or the clusterfuck that followed. Your misdirected angst is only hurting you, and isn't gonna change a thing. I got an overload of radiation during my cancer treatment because I was in a study that I didn't understand. I am shitty at the doctor who duped me - but not at any other cancer survivors who didn't have the same results. I'm glad they didn't have to suffer the way I am suffering. Maybe you should be happy for those whose homes survive hurricanes and angry at the governments indifference and apathy, at that time, that allowed yours be washed away.

I slept like a baby through the storm. I was so exhausted from prepping for over a week as soon as we checked into our room on Wednesday morning I notified our family members we were safe and I went right to sleep. We were safe and blessed that there was no damage to our home or cars. Only a few plants fell over. There was significant damage in our mobile home community. We don't mess around when it comes to hurricanes. We evacuate. It usually takes me a week leading up to the storm to secure our home and move some of our belonging into our storage for safety. Praying for all those who lost loved ones and were devastated from the destruction hurricane Ian left behind. I had 1 tomato on my tomato plant when we left. When I came home the tomato was still on the plant. I ate it the next day...🙂

I can't believe how calmly you relayed each, increasingly dangerous, stage of the hurricane as the risk to your own home and family was undoubtedly rising. You produced the most comprehensive visual account of this hurricane's power and path of destruction that I have seen.

Thank you for videotaping this. I live in Canada and have never seen a tropical storm although I have seen the after-effects of them on TV News. You did a great job of moving around the house, videotaping from all angles, starting from before the storm started. I couldn't believe watching people's roofs blow right off the houses! And the way the canal so quickly went over its banks - it's no wonder that tsunamis from the ocean are as huge as they are. It must be an insurance nightmare where you are - everyone waiting for tradespeople to repair roofs, homes, garages, electric teams to get all the posts and lines back up and running. If what the scientists say is true - that climate change is going to make these storms even bigger and more deadly, it's going to be really tragic in the future. I hope your damages weren't too extensive and I hope nobody was hurt.

I grew up in Temple Terrace but my Dad owned land down on the Cape (by the Country Club) and my Uncle lived down off of El Dorado (Skylark Court) back in the '70s and '80s so I recognized the drive toward the Yacht Club (used to ride my bike to go swimming at the beach or Yacht Club pool) off of Lucerne and Coronado. I also recognized where Christ Lutheran used to be off of Del Prado and Cornwallis. Everyone always talked about the possibility of such a storm hitting the suncoast but never thought that it would be so devastating. I am glad to see that y'all are making progress. I understand the surge flooded many of the businesses off of Cape Coral pkwy by the Old Publix now a Winn Dixie.

My heart goes out to everyone affected from the Hurricane, so much property damage and lives lost. Also the boats and cars, I cannot believe it was so bad. I am in Jersey and own property (just land) in Cape Coral. I will getting down there as soon as I possibly can. Everyone prays for a speedy recovery so lives can get back to normal. Thank you for the video as the storm was progressing to give us all a sense of what was happening in your area. Our prayers go out to all of you and may God be with you.

Adventure Mom, thank you for showing us the devastation brought by Ian. A picture is worth a thousand words. I know electrical/power line workers from my state, of Indiana, are in Florida. Thousands here pray for you, and hope you get the help you all need. Florida is the American Paradise. We all love your state, we are extremely sorry for your loss, but we know someday you’ll recover. Best of luck and prayers for you, your neighbors, and state.
