Mammoth Hurricane Ian has broken our hearts and stolen the stuff that paradisaical dreams are made of in our weary Florida.
Its powerful Category 4 winds stirred up storm surge taller than people, ending lives and uprooting more than trees and concrete on beloved old Florida islands.
Deadly Ian has isolated Sanibel and Captiva, severing the only way in and out by land. Once the spot where we exhaled and left troubles behind, the Sanibel Causeway has been chopped into chunks, scattered and washed away as if it had been built with children’s building blocks.
