Cape Coral Hurricane Ian Damage

Hello everybody. A few months ago, Hurricane Ian hit the shared family home in Cape Coral. The area surrounding the home was flooded and badly damaged. Power lines, phone lines, and even restaurant signs were destroyed. No damage was found inside the home, however, the backyard was a complete mess. Somebody’s kayak and cooler was in our backyard, the pool was green with a trash can floating around with tree branches in the pool, and the pool net cage was also damaged. Even the boat, was knocked off the lift and actually drifted away into another canal. The boat lift canopy frame was also bent, meaning that having the lift retract out of the water was impossible without damage (the canopy frame was later partly removed). The first time we came to the home after the hurricane, there were traffic jams, in-operational traffic lights, long lines waiting for food, no power, and gas stations all packed since 95% of the gas stations were closed. It took us about 3.5 Hours to get to the house, opposed to the usual 2.5 hours. Over the next few weeks, there were many trips back and forth to the house to start repairs. Many insurance claims were also claimed, and it was hard to get a hold of a pool company, due to the high volume of customers the company’s were experiencing. Thanks for reading, I’ll see you next time.
