00:01I don't know if you can see that, but that is the surge coming over our pool deck.
00:13The pool's gone. It's just all ocean water, and the surge has taken over.
00:19I have to post this because it looks better with the light. Oh, wow.
00:24Here we are at the very back of the extended eye wall, I guess.
00:30I'll put it as a post.
00:32Oh, I wish you could have seen it.
00:35Yeah, there it is. That's the surge.
00:38That's what it looks like when surge pops over.
00:43It's filled the entire, I don't know if you can see, but there's a stairwell here.
00:47The water's up to the stairs.
00:57This is in Port Myers.
01:00Taking out some big water.
01:05Oh, wow.
01:06It's fully breaching.
01:11Fully breaching that wall.
01:13And so our entire pool deck is full of water, which, you know, in Ian it was too.
01:17We stayed in the same place.
01:20It was up way higher than this, but we've definitely taken out a lot of surge.
01:24It keeps growing because we're going to keep this onshore wind, and that's going to keep helping push more and
01:31more water up.
01:32So I just wanted to share that with you.
01:33I'll post the video because it's certainly impressive to see the power of water each and every time.
01:40Oh, and it looks like part of the fence just fell off.
01:44Yep, the fence is falling apart right now.
01:46Look, that took out the fence, you guys, right now.
01:54Oh, power flashes from maybe Sanibel.
01:58Let me see if I can get you guys over there because the fence is about to break fully apart.
02:11Of course, that connection when the best, craziest, wildest stuff is happening.
02:21We're safe.
02:22We are up on this deck far, far away from all the action, but I'm going to head inside now.
02:29Stay safe, everybody.
02:31Well, our power's out, and you can see why.
02:35The surge is getting big here in Fort Myers, but we're safe.
