National Guard troops head to islands cut off by Ian

One hundred troops head to islands in southwestern Florida. Around 50-100 National Guard members have been deployed in the Sunshine State.

On Monday, about 100 National Guard troops headed for barrier islands in Florida that were cut off by Hurricane Ian.

Ian made landfall on Wednesday as a Category 4 storm on the barrier island of Cayo Costa in southwest Florida.

FOX Weather correspondent Max Gorden reported from Southwest Florida International Airport on Monday, which was alive with activity with National Guard troops.



National Guard troops were moving water and other supplies to those hardest hit by Ian in the barrier islands. Large Chinook helicopters could also be seen picking up Humvees and carrying them to those isolated barrier islands for that aid mission.

Thousands of people living on barrier islands were – and remain – cut off from mainland Florida after Hurricane Ian struck.

Biden says DeSantis is on board with 'global warming'

“First of all, the biggest thing the governor’s done and so many others have done is recognized this thing called global warming,” he said. “The world is changing.”

He cannot help himself. He is a classic 'sex addict' or 'sexual compulsive', which is usually the result of sexual exposure as a child. Even though he is much too old to actually do anything sexual, he still has the compulsions from years ago. There is really no way to know how many women and young girls this man has extorted into sexual situations throughout his life.

But one thing, trust me, if that woman had been a Black woman ... Biden would not have gone anywhere near her. There certainly would be no 'sniff and kiss'. Biden tends to, or tries, to hit on every girl and woman that comes within 10ft of him, with one major demographic exception.

Recovery Victory in DeSantis’s Florida: Temporary Pine Island Bridge Operational

The recovery efforts in southwest Florida are still underway as the state bounces back from the powerful Category 4 storm that smashed the coast last week. One the main highlights of the recovery efforts, thus far, is the construction of a temporary bridge connecting Pine Island to the mainland, which is now fully operational, providing access to countless residents, emergency responders, and linemen.

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.

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.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

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.  :laugh:

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.  8888crybaby   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................
