“You’ve got to have some place to live.” The barrier islands along the southwest Florida coast – famed for their seashells, fishing and laid-back lifestyle – took major hits from Hurricane Ian. Residents were trying to salvage what they could Thursday.
“I own the land, but I’ll have to scrap the trailer,” said Goodison, a carpenter. “To rebuild now ...” he said, his voice trailing off at the thought. “But you’ve got to have some place to live.”“I don’t know how anyone could have survived in there,” he said.
“I was like, ‘Where’s my store?’” she said. The other six stores in the strip mall also appeared to suffer extensive roof damage, and a motor home in the parking lot had been flipped on its side.
