This is what the Fort Myers Yacht Basin used to look like before Ian. (Credit: WINK News drone) Fort Myers said it will close its yacht basin until further notice after Ian swept through the area. According to the city, the Category 4 Hurricane brought flooding in excess of 42 inches to downtown Fort Myers and the basin endured vast damages as a result of the storm. The basin has been deemed unsafe and uninhabitable by the building official, according to Fort Myers. It is believed that 40 residents returned to live there. They will be notified of its closure. Many whose boats were unharmed have expressed interest in leaving the facility. One yacht owner, Victor Coletta, had to have his boat totaled when authorities told him to leave the basin before he finished using a pump to lift it out of the water.
