Unlike the affluent seaside communities of Sanibel Island and Fort Myers Beach, where the media has descended to chronicle every detail of the aftermath of Ian, the people who live in the squat homes in Dunbar have faced the crisis mostly on their own:
Earline McCoy has lived next door since 1969. She's seen a lot of hurricanes come through here in the last five decades. But this one tops them all, she admits.
Jesse Howard shows the damage to Earline McCoy's home in the Dunbar neighborhood of Fort Myers, Fla., after Hurricane Ian passed through the area. "I'm getting what I need, and I think other people are getting what they need too," he says."From what I see on Facebook and Instagram and then us coming to here, I think it's been great."About a mile west, in the Dean Park Historic District, Lindsay Comstock's rental house nearly backs up to the Caloosahatchee River, which Ian caused to overflow its banks, sending a torrent of water through the one-story home.
