I am so proud of the Storm Chasers and social media. Out there coordinating efforts and helping people . Thank you ! You are now entered into THE BIG Balls Hall of Fame !!!!

This is my home town. Born and raised in the same home as well. Our home suffered minor damage compared to what other people have lost. My family had decided last minute to evacuate to the Hertz Arena to ride of the storm. Worst 24 hours of my life. Not knowing if my friends were going to be ok and not knowing if we were even going to have a home to return to. It breaks my heart seeing the places I’ve grown up in COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I was planning on calling Florida my forever home, but after I graduate high school and college, I don’t think I will be sticking around here. I don’t even want to think about having to go through the fear and experience of something like this ever again. Which is why I will most likely be moving out of florida. This was such an unexpected, devastating, and terrifying storm. I would never wish this on anyone. I have been so upset for the past few days just knowing that nothing will ever be the same. In the end though, God spared us and we are very lucky to still have a home and a roof over our heads with all our stuff still here. My heart will always break every time I remember this disaster. My prayers are with you all ❤

Everything will get better with time. This can happen anywhere along the east coast. I lived in NJ during sandy which very much resembled Ian- devastation wise. I was in Fort Myers where I live now during Ian. This past week has been really tough for sure but we will get through this and as a community we can and will fight through this.

Unless you live here and have gone through these things many times, you really dont understand how it it to have to predict and possibly evacuate. It's not as easy as it sounds.

The entire southwest portion of Florida is low lying so there is no real high ground nearby. Originally this storm was predicted to hit the Tampa Bay area and photos of cars leaving that area showed the Interstate 4 at a standstill with people trying to get to the center of the state and away from the low lying coastal areas in the Tampa Bay area. Evacuating the population of southwest Florida would have been even more difficult because the distance it would take to higher ground in time is so far away. The land to the east is basically swamp so the only route out is to the north and there are only two major highways leading out to the north.
