Southwest Florida Clean Up Continues Following Hurricane Ian
We will be cleaning up and rebuilding our beautiful community for years to come. The devastation is so widespread it's hard to fathom when we will have our little piece of paradise back. And even then, it will never be the same.
Southwest Floridians are resilient and will get through this. We've seen proof of that over the last several days.
These images of our beautiful coast are extremely hard to look through.
Pictures Of Bonita Springs In The Aftermath Of Hurricane Ian
The entire Bonita Beach area of Bonita Springs area is absolutely destroyed. Our entire Southwest Florida area is reeling from Hurricane Ian. Most of us are without power and internet. We have limited cell and text messaging available. Many of you reading this are from outside of our area, so if can help:
Hurricane Ian made landfall near Cayo Costa, an island off the coast of Fort Myers, just after 3 p.m. on Wednesday. With Ian, came 150 mph winds, the fifth-strongest hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. According to ABC News, “Ian then made a second landfall 90 minutes later, still as a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds, just south of Punta Gorda, near Pirate Harbor.”
While the efforts to restore Southwest Florida's beaches will be a years long recovery, our whole area is suffering greatly. The causeway to Sanibel collapsed and the docks sustained heavy damage, making the island only accessible by helicopter. There’s some areas where we don’t even know yet the extent of the damage. As you'll see in the pictures, law enforcement is limiting access to certain areas.
Bonita Springs will rebuild. But this is going to take a long time.
