On this day, 1 year ago, Cat5 Hurricane Ian wrecked havoc on Fort Myers Beach and Southwest Florida.
So much destruction and Very heartbreaking π
Sharing images of Carlos Pointe, our little slice of heaven, from 9/28/2022 and the days that followed. Pics taken by one of the building owners who rode out the storm.
Ian wiped out all of the infrastructure to CP, everything on ground level gone, and the storm serge entered most units on the 1st and 2nd floors. Fortunately, engineers have deemed the building structurally sound!
Our unit, on the 4th floor, miraculously escaped with minimal damage. Hurricane shuttles and windows held up to 150 miles an hour winds. π
It has been a long process forward on rebuilding.
First months have been clean up and mitigation.
Now focusing on restoration. I cannot thank our HOA board of directors enough for navigating this monstrosity of a project! They have done an amazing job. No one signed up for this π with weekly meetings with contractors, vendors, engineering firm, condo owners plus all the drawing approvals, permits, insurance claims & adjusters, parts shortages, etc etc etc. and so much more!!
CP remains without permanent electric, no water, no sewer, no fire alarms, therefore, No Occupancy.
There has been definite progress and we are hopeful in H2 of 2024 we will be able to once again enjoy Carlos Pointe in a new way!
