‘I’ve lost sleep’; Nearly $2K FPL bill leaves customer looking for answersBlind singer overcomes challenges to shine on stage with sisters
Debris piled in front of a home on Sunrise Drive in North Fort Myers after Hurricane Ian, Tuesday, October 11, 2022. (Credit: WINK News) A neighborhood in North Fort Myers continues to pick up the pieces after Hurricane Ian sent its storm surge rushing through houses. One woman who reached out to WINK news says most of Sunrise Drive was under 2 to 5 feet of water. The homes have since been emptied of belongings and stripped of drywall. The high winds destroyed roofs and left streets full of debris, so much that in some places it’s hard to see the houses, and pools full of mud. I’m here on Sunrise Dr. in North Fort Myers after a neighbor recently emailed into our newsroom. She said up to 5ft of water flooded her and her neighbors homes & they lost everything. People had to “get up on roofs.” 💔#HurricaneIan #IanHurricane #Ian #Ianaftermath #Leecounty pic.twitter.com/cjjX2Nc2ri — Annette Montgomery (@AnnettemTV) October 11, 2022 If not for Samaritan’s Purse, the woman told WINK, the largely elderly residents of Sunrise Drive would simply have had to walk away from their homes. Another resident, Dustin Tribbett, spoke to WINK News anchor Annette Montgomery about how everyone has been coping with the damage. Submit Copyright ©2024 Fort Myers Broadcasting.
