My Trip To Help a Buddy In Fort Myers After Hurricane Ian

The week of October 3rd I made a trip from Northern Kentucky to Fort Myers Florida to help longtime follower and friend, John Hancock. John lives in Fort Myers and was right in the bullseye of Hurricane Ian and suffered the wrath of its winds and flooding waters. On the morning of Monday, October 3rd I received a message that my buddy needed some help. I packed up and left a few hours later.

The drive down to Fort Myers took in excess of 17 hours. Traffic going into Fort Myers was horrible. I made the following video along the way, while I was there, and shared some thoughts when I left.

I did not take pics of my buddy’s place, nor any videos. His privacy and struggles were personal and not to be shared. What I documented was much more general, but, still valuable for those not in the area.

There are lessons to be learned for those who are not in the disaster zone. One of the main lessons? Be ready.

I’d appreciate it if you would share the video with like-minded folks across any social media, email, or whatever you find worthy.

Take care all.
