Fort Myers Beach after Ike

By
Real Estate Agent with 16 Sunview Blvd

Hurricane Ike roared through the Gulf of Mrxico and slammed into Texas.  This massive storm changed the Texas coast and many inland communities forever !  We all watched the storm as it made it's way toward the Gulf and hoped it wouldnt become deadly.  Our prayers were with those in it's path !  You wouldn't wish a hurricane on anyone but you certainly are glad when it veers in another direction.

Our island is a barrier island and with rare exception has been spared visits by these amazing storms.  While the storm was passing I went down to the beach for these pictures.  It is so strange that the storm is out there over the horizon but it is so calm and peaceful here.

Here in St. Pete we were lucky too, but we had some flooding in the traditional low laying areas.

water has not been that high for at least 7 or 8 years

Be Beautiful

Hi Bill - lovely pictures.  We came out of Ike unscathed fortunately in SA.

Hi Anne & Kristin,  Amazing how peaceful and calm it was here and you know that over the horizon there is a hurricane moving toward the coastline .
