I’ve seen this movie before. There is just no way to appreciate the sheer POWER of Mother Nature, until you’ve seen it.
You know, I’m starting to think that all the Storm Chaser, and Weather Channel coverage is convincing people that it’s “Not THAT bad”. They all cut out before the REALLY bad stuff hits.
Sanibel Island and Fort Myers never stood a chance of survival. ANYONE who lived on 5’ or less elevation and stayed there is LUCKY, IF they are alive.

“A one acre pond. That is a lot of bulldozing $$$$”
Dredging
“This will hurt Florida real estate values.”

Cinder block reinforced to current building standards.
Low maintenance and hurricane proof.
where were the parents?
Probably at home. Were you ever a teenager? This is what they do.
Fortunately, most of them survive it…
I agree…I think it would be fairly cheap to replace the structures in a lot of Florida mobile home parks (which are mostly elderly couples or single people) with equivalent nice block structures. They could buy or rent.
