[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, so sad. My parents are Sanibel snowbirds and always drive down from NY the second weekend in October. (That's obviously not happening this year.) It is our family's happy place.

My parents knew people who did not evacuate and those people are going to have to be evacuated by boat or air because that causeway is the only way onto the island by land.

It's very early in assessing damage, but I've seen some comments from people saying it may be a total loss. Too many sections damaged, and what is still intact probably can't be trusted. It's going to be ferries for several months at least.[/quote]

Why should the bridge and road be rebuilt for vacation homes? It looks like the island is cut in a few places and they lost a lot of sand/beach. I wonder are the sewer and fresh water systems still intact?  They will have to totally rebuild the island’s beach. It will cost millions and there is no guarantee another storm will not take every think out in a year or two.  I really hope the federal government does not paid for the rebuild of the island.

6700 people live there. It’s not all vacation homes.[/quote]

More people live on my block in NYC than that. It does not make sense to rebuild an area so prone to flooding and disaster. [/quote]

No shit Sherlock. Nyc is the most condensed area of people living in the US. That doesn’t mean no where else isn’t allowed to have that idiot. [/quote]

What it means is that it does not make sense to rebuild island and sea level communities that are frequently hit by storms. I’d say the same about fire island, parts of LI. NYC May be uninhabitable at some point too which is why I’m not buying property here. I don’t want federal taxes to spend millions or billions rebuilding sanibel [/quote]

Buying property where? DMV area? There is going to be flooding in places, guess you will have to find another place. [/quote]
