Devasted for my hometown of Fort Myers. Thankfully family is OK! It's surreal to see my childhood stomping ground completely leveled. Praying for all who are suffering through this. #fortmyers

@mannahhorse Finally, thank you @mannahhorse for taking photos. Many have been wondering if they still stood, and we're so happy to see they, in fact, are!

@alexandrafox4_ @Fox4Now Thanks for reporting this, Alexandra. Heartbreaking. Did you capture a visual of the Edison Ford Estates? Many are wondering how they faired in this storm.

@cosmicsoul477 @30kmillionMIA @Tri_Rail Now all we need in the city are amenities to enjoy: coffee shop, better parks, restaurants, etc.

@BrianBandell We desperately need density in this great city. Wish it had some Moorish character to the design, though!

Things are accelerating so rapidly. Pay attention to data. Be smart, safe & please be merciful w/ each other *so* we can effectively educate. Encourage. I understood the validity of social distancing barely over a week ago. This vid is alarming, yes. But. Consider— (1/4)

OK fruit fly. I don’t know where you went, where you came from, or what you want, but I will find you, and I will kill you. This quarantined space is only big enough for one of us. #CoronaVirusChallenge #QuarentineLife

The best thing to stream while being stuck in a locked down city? America’s Funniest Home Videos on @hulu . Too bad this worldwide event isn’t one of them.
