Before thousands of people evacuated their homes ahead of Hurricane Ian’s arrival in Florida, they placed their valuables as high as possible, hoping they would stay safe throughout the storm. But Category 4 Ian’s fury was too much. Now, two weeks after Ian’s wrath was felt across the Sunshine State, residents are trying to find their valuables in the debris that was strewn about.
Images and video only illustrate the damage that Hurricane Ian left behind along Fort Myers Beach. Inside the homes that are still standing, furniture is tossed about, walls are moldy and prized possessions are broken or lost.
