I was wondering about that. Didn’t hear any reports of deaths yesterday.

I have a bad feeling about all those neighborhoods with one story flats. They had no where to go if they got 12 feet of surge. Lots of retirees and elderly.

Damn this is so sad.
I hope retirement communities start having evacuation plans in place, especially in places like Florida.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Way too many people tried riding this out

Saw a video from inside where the surge was at the top of the glass door and rising.
Going to be a number of fatals, unfortunately

That’s sad. Seems like everyone was worried about Tampa, but Fort Myers area was not mentioned much prior to landfall.

Cape Coral might be a very, very bad scene. Right on the water with a lot of canals. Prayers for the area.

People don’t value their lives anymore. We’ve all seen the catastrophes made by Katrina and Harvey, for example, yet a storm similar comes to them and they still try to ride it out. It’s sad.
Eta: it’s a “it won’t happen to me” attitude and it won’t happen to you…until it does.

Not everyone has the money or a means to do so, when these things happen.

Sad if true

I get that. It’s the ones that do have the means and still don’t. Or turn down help etc

also it a "just a little rain and wind" attitude. downplaying mother nature eventually catches up to those not prepared.

Ehhh, I imagine the deaths are at an all time low and evacuation % an all time high
We're just more exasperated with those who won't leave than ever before.

The surge was over the fence at the locks when the cam cut out. Hopefully they didn’t get what Ft. Meyers got. They at least got a wind switch after the eye passed.

too many time they compare one storm to the current one coming in. they dont understand that the size of the storm, spped of the storm and angle of hit can have a greater effect then the top wind speeds. Ian was a wide storm with wind to match.

People who live in hurricane areas don’t leave. They just don’t. I will never understand it. It’s the slowest moving predictably timed natural disaster someone can easily avoid.

The entire Florida West Coast from the keys on up was always in heavy danger. Just a slight shift like it did was going to whack people further south. Every single person on the west side should’ve been in heavy prep or evacuation mode.

My grandparents and one of my dads brothers lives in CC. Thankfully they are ok as of this morning.
