Following Hurricane Ian's destruction, many residents on Florida's Pine Island have stayed put for days without electricity and other resources while hoping the lone bridge to the mainland is repaired.

Holy cow, that's amazing.

Leaders lead, while POS like Pedophile Joe make false claims that the Guv has bought off on the climate scam.

If the Gummint can stop climate change, why'd they let the hurricane hit Florida in the first place?

My sister will be heading there in a couple of weeks...their caretaker managed to get on the island and check the house out. The new floors are ruined and that seems to be the extent of the damage so far in the house...now the garage was bad..their vehicles had water in their cup holders and all their new appliances that were being stored in the garage are ruined also. They have their work cut out for them when they get there...not as bad as a lot of people.

1st Pine Island bride open in 3 days and Now the Causeway.   That wasn't supposed to be operational till the end of the month?    DeSantis will win by 20 points over Cuckie Crist.   QueTip Crist  had high hopes for this hurricane swamping DeSantis.

@mystery-ak  I have been wondering and thought you had mentioned you had a sister who had a house on Sanibel.  My heart sinks for her as the flooding was pretty intense; prayers up.

It is absolutely amazing what DeSantis has accomplished.  I have to commend him for gathering a team before the storm.

You think that's bad, @libertybele , you should hear what people SAY in my presence... Or what I think they said... Or what I thought I heard them say.

My old ears are WAY more perverted than my old eyes. But I find it delightful. One of the true pleasures of growing older.

In my presence people generally say whatever I want them to say because I can't hear anything they actually say.  Especially so if it's anything other than a one on one conversation.

I fully understand; my ears are shot (too many rock concerts) and it is funny sometimes what I think I heard people say.

I can almost hear em... Even mostly hear em... Women a little harder... Too many years around machinery and guns, so high pitches are harder. But that's why it is so funny. I am not using my imagination. It's my brain processing input as best it can - Sometimes a bit inaccurately.

I swear, my mother and I were talking one time about one of her friends in an amicable fashion...

She stops and looks at me and my sainted mother plainly said:

"She sh*ts moon rocks."

ROTFLMAO!!! Now... I know dang well that ain't what she said. I still don't know what she really said. Because that was so dang funny I started misfiring and nearly stalled out.

But that's what I heard. 

I am telling ya - it's no end of entertainment!

It often irritates my wife for me to repeat what I THINK she said back to her. Generally, just before she starts ROFLHAO!

We don't live far from this area and have walked the beach many, many times and some of our favorite restaurants are out on the island.  I haven't ventured out to that area to take a look.  I'll wait several more months.  I am happy that the lighthouse is still standing though.  The destruction in the area is a lot to take in.     Prayers up for all that are recovering from loss or who have lost loved ones. 

Sanibel and Captiva islands continue recovering from Ian

Weeks after Hurricane Ian, people are still in shock over the enormous damage on Sanibel and Captiva islands.

Some of the most beloved, classic, and treasured spots, like the lighthouse, took the brunt of Ian’s force.

Mark Delagado is one of the people that is lending a helping hand to the area and assisting in the cleanup.

“Thank goodness, the lighthouse stood, so that was durable. But everything in that whole area seems to be totally destroyed,” Delgado said.

The former red hue emitted from the lighthouse that so many loved has shifted to look rustier. The buildings that once stood strong alongside the lighthouse lay in ruins.

But the posts that held up the lighthouse withstood the massive force of nature and resolutely stood their ground.

WINK News asked Delgado the difference between how the area looked before and how it looked on Friday.

“It’s night and day. You know you had picturesque buildings and scenery and vegetation. Now it’s just desolate. It looks like a bomb went off,” Delgado said................
