Beautiful! I want to come visit! ❤

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video of incredible Sanibel island's wildlife. I have been there numerous times and have never seen pink flamingos. Just breathtakingly beautiful paradise.....

It’s such a special place. I can’t wait to go back!

Precious memories. Thank you for sharing! ❤‍🩹

My favorite place of all places I've visited. I can't wait to come back. #bluedolphinstrong

love sanibel! thank you!!!!!!!!!

The people will return and the Blue Dolphin will be as beautiful as it once was. Blessings to everyone.

Powerful. We're coming back.

You've captured the very essence of it all ❤ 🏖🌞

Well done video with much hope for the future. Good Luck!

Well, that’s cool. But what’s even cooler is that two days ago we had 4 or 5 flamingoes on the shore of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

😊😊

We are approaching a year. Could you do another one same route as the recovery?

People don't realize that this footage is probably a month afterwards. I was there and this looks like a Hilton compared to what it was when I got there. Those piles were two stories high and took weeks to get to this point.

I was just in Captiva late July. There is still a lot to clean up from Ian still. Thank GOD this new one Idalia is gonna spare San/Cap area from most of winds and surge this time. I am hoping they only get some rain and thats it!😎

I miss that beautiful Island hope to be able to visit next year

Thanks for posting. Hope it misses you !

Autumn is my favorite season.

Poor tourist don't realize they can go rite across the street to southern most Bae and get there picture taken at a matching block of concrete without the wait.

Lived in Maine my whole life (19 years) and that season is still the worst i've seen by far. Reminds me of Buffalo or Mammoth Lakes. We got crushed that year like never before, Feet upon feet upon feet.

We took a helicopter twice from Page Field to get over before the bridge. It cost as much as many boats were charging at the time. I can still smell it. 8 foot of water on the first floor. We dragged many things to the curb. All things. Anything metal rusted quickly in that ocean water. I didn’t get to go out in the streets because so much mitigation was necessary. Scraping mud for hours and tossing all broken and wet items outside. Knowing everyone else is doing the same. I didn’t expect a storm to affect me so much. Thank you for your tasteful drive through.

The not quite southernmost point!

praying for the pelicans. And all the animals on earth 🌎

I'm not shocked, I rode it out here in Cape Coral and we had the very same thing.

Thanks you for doing this so many of us are praying for all the people there Sanibel is such a special place and we can get no info here in Indiana on what is going on

Southernmost point

How was the world's best homemade ice cream shop and Tuttle shell shop

2022 was rough: Lost my dad, lost my dog and lost Sanibel. My dad and mom took us there (rented at the Moorings) in the 1980's and we continued there with our kids through the 2000's. Went there last February and I will return.

🤓🧑‍🔧🏗👷‍♂🌉🏝🌫⏳🌪 How This Bridge Was Rebuilt in 15 Days After Hurricane Ian ruclips.net/video/jVi5p-yyF3c/видео.html

There it it . GREED & EXCESS for all the world to see

We will never recover. We can’t find reasonably priced labor. ($3600 a day surcharge) on top of the price of actual labor. Insurance companies are bastards…for instance they only gave us $1000 for flooring that costs $13,000. Lots of scammers out there trying to take advantage of old people. We are going to move more inland because these type of cat 4 or 5 hurricanes happen all the time now along the gulf coast. Goodbye forever Sanibel!

🏝🔂🌪 Hurricane Ian: Massive Destruction, Sanibel Causeway Destroyed, '100's Fatalities;' Wind Speeds...? ruclips.net/video/HO95ORcIzF8/видео.html

I truely hope the woodcarvers on the island can collect, tree roots,bark,stumps an other woods to turn them into the beauty fr. the island fr. the devastation...wish we were closer to see where our cottage use to be at the Caribe...

My heart breaks when I see this amount of destruction

There is another huge pile near the entrance to The Sanctuary on Wulfert. I think it is much larger.

Visited this beautiful place on an annual basis. So green and clean. Is very sad to see the destruction. Obviously it will be years to fully recover but will never again be the same

I'm glad to see that nature won in Sanibel. Sadly it has been way overbuilt. Like so many things in nature the humans just had too much hubris. I am so amused by Christians when they build on sand. They read the Bible but they don't heed any of the warnings.

Wow

Amazing how quickly the white well to do had access to Sanibel. 100 crews working 24 hrs a day!!! How are the fixed mobile home parks people faring? Or the downtown business owners in ft. Myers Beach. Or the people of color in Ft. Myers city. Evidently there was no damage there at all judging by news reports.

So much debris... You all should build a new island with all that rubble or mound it all up and build on top of the mountain you create. Maybe it will help to be a little higher in elevation.

Florida is not a very smart state! The great state of Maryland forbids developers from building on our wonderful Barrier Island ! Assateague Island, home of the wild ponies! Assateague Island was formed by a hurricane in 1938. Only camping is permitted on our Barrier Island! Maryland is a very BLUE state with many rules & regulations! These regulations are there for a very good reason! Very glad I live in a PROGRESSIVE BLUE state , MARYLAND! 🥰🤗🌊🌅🌊⛱️🐬⚓⛵⚓

Yes it looks devastated, yes it is just heartbreaking. But what I can see is that most of the hurricane proof houses had relatively minor damages. Sorry to tell you this, but in my country, when there are several natural disasters in a row in the same area, we're not installing electrical poles anymore, they are underground lines. Most of the trash on the side of the road are caused from wind and water. There should be a city law that restricts all the new buildings to be much higher from the ground and can resist to high winds because it's gonna happen again. I hope not, but logically, it will happen again. The highest elevation of Sanibel Island is 36 inches and is in the path of most hurricanes. In the video I saw some really damaged cars, I hope that people have left anyway for their security ? Thanks for sharing this video and good luck for all residents. We'll be visiting you again !!!

With climate change and rising sea levels / warming oceans an undeniable reality you have to question the sanity of rebuilding.

Where I live on the east coast 75 percent of the homes are up for sale, we got 2 storms in a row that was enough for some we have stuff in front of the house that has not been picked up yet. Unreal we are thinking of getting out of here also.

Build on a hurricane pathed barrier island, then act melodramatic-- it is basic science! An intellectual reality that is certainly not followed in Florida, or in its clueless politics!

Hope all the ppl left before it struck

Difficult to watch

Any suggestions for shelling bags?

Earth starts to fight back. Pandemic, natural disaster. It's a good thing maybe. Sad for those been living there. My sympathy. But truth is, it may become worse according to predictions. Imagine the plastic waste that enters the sea during this event. Disaster upon disaster.

I have no idea how my name was changed by YT AI, but Sanibel Island looks like the blizzard of '79 in Chicago. Very sad. Sending my love and uplifting wishes to everyone devastated by this disaster.
