Excellent coverage of the devastation. It helps people understand the damage of a hurricane more than a reporter standing in the wind.

I live in Fort Myers. Absolutely devastating. The amount of clean up will take many months. Terrible to see things like the pier and Dairy Queen completely gone. Many people I know have no homes, completely nonexistent. The flooding is terrible in some spots. Power and water is all out. Everyone is coming together. Send Prayers.

I'm from Canada and visited Fort Myers in 2007. It was a very memorable place to me. This saddens me greatly and my heart breaks for all those affected.

I've been through several hurricanes in my life, but Ian, was probably the strongest one I've ever seen. The storm surge, the wind, the rain, It was truly a devastating storm. My heart goes out to all the people effected by it my prayers go out to them too. I hope everyone recovers to the best of their abilites.

No matter what humans think...We don't own this planet. We only live here.

When you live on the coast you know the risk’s. Hurricanes are often a topic of conversation so you learn quickly that your rolling the dice. The best advice I could give to anyone is to head for the hills.

Thanks to everyone at Fox 4 !!! Your news and coverage is the best and us Floridians truly appreciate it, I live in Naples and our coastline is also a complete disaster, thanks again for all your hard work 🇺🇸👍🏆.

Been to ft Myers beach many times, never liked the warm water but loved the town that gave the old nostalgic feeling. Many thank you's to rescuers and hot food donors!

They really need to wipe these areas clean and not build on the Beach. Manufactured homes should not be placed in hurricane risk areas.
-
This is by far the the most descriptive coverage of this storm than any news station. The fact that they knew every block in the area and were able to describe what used to be there is unattainable by other news crews. This is by far the worst hit area..😢

I live in New Orleans. Seen destruction like this many times. It isn't easy to recover from. Time and the help of your neighbors.... prayers to all of you.

Thank you for uploading this. I have family in Fort Myers who are running ragged helping others in spite of being in the same situation. When they get into an area with internet access, this bird's-eye view of their beloved community will be helpful.

I was there just 3 weeks ago for my yearly trip to Fort Myers Beach. Knowing the area and seeing this devastation leaves you speechless. EVERYTHING IS gone. The pier,The Dog House, the taco stand. My friend told me the hooters was floating down the street. Lani Kai first floor was down to the studs. This area was absolutely beautiful,laid back, and exactly what everyone needs to chill and relax. Will never be the same but hopefully a complete rebuild will happen sooner than later.

hundreds of thousands of people lives ruined, this is just terrible. As a born and raised Floridian that lost my home from Jeanne in 2004, i know how devastating this can be. but honestly this is the worst ive ever seen. prayers to the families, business and communities.

This gives me flashbacks from Hurricane Andrew. I was a kid and we lived on Key Largo. When we were driving back home through Homestead...Absolutely gone. Neighborhoods of concrete slabs with nothing around them. In many areas Andrew was so powerful it cleaned up after itself by blowing away the debris. My heart goes out to all of these people.

Praying for the residents who couldn't afford to leave.

Just devastating. Thoughts go out to all those affected by hurricane Ian.

My son is living with friends of ours in Fort Myers. Luckily they all fled before the storm hit. Their home is destroyed. I stayed in Fort Myers during the summer and remember all these places. Just heartbreaking.

I was in Fort Myers between June and July. My sister Malgorzata lives there. A beautiful village. Paradise on earth. Americans believe that you will rise. Poland was destroyed many times. two years. I wish you with all my heart strength and peace in rebuilding. You have a beautiful country of cool people. I have never met so many smiling people. Optimism beats from you. Take care of people and animals you will rise. After that you will come out even stronger!

Saying prayers for all of you in Florida. Stay safe and sending you blessings and love. ❤🙏♥️
