Fort Myers Beach! That's intense. I'm glad you and yours are doing well, because I've never seen anything like Fort Myers Beach after Ian.
As a kid I remember driving through Homestead after Andrew, and I don't remember the kind of devastation I saw on the beach.

Yeah, the beach got extra special screwed. To the point people are genuinely unaware how bad it was for the most part. They know things were bad in a lot of Florida, but the beach was on a whole other level. I sold the ice cream from the hot dog cart on the beach walking along the water. Who knows if that will ever be a thing again. My boss was at the shop and had to knock the tiles out of the ceiling and stick his head in the rafters to no drown. He stood in water up to his chin for 6 hours. He said hes working on getting things going again. I didn't wait to hold my breath. I moved back to Michigan to become a lapidary, I cut gemstones, or as I like to say: I'm a professional stoner now.
