Intense video shows devastating impact of Hurricane Ian on Fort Myers
2022-09-29


[NYPOST] The idyllic coastal town of Fort Myers, Florida now looks like it has fallen into the ocean as floodwaters from Hurricane Ian engulfed the city Wednesday.

The water is rising so quickly footage from the same camera just an hour apart shows it becoming submerged.

In the first video, the camera positioned six feet above the ground at Lani Kai Resort resort shows fast-moving water flooding the street with garbage floating away.

An hour later, the camera was inundated with water and at times fully submerged.

The footage shows extremely rough waves flooding what was once a street. It’s unclear how long the camera will continue to hold on. Other videos posted on social media showed houses flooded, downed power cables sparking fireballs and evenb sharks swimming in the flood waters.
