The ocean raged off the coast of Fort Myers Beach and the wind howled as residents were found waking up and assessing the damage Thursday morning.
When you make your way to Fort Myers Beach, streets are flooded with water. In some areas you are not able to tell the bay from the street, or canals from the road.
Crews were already helping in the cleanup process as of Thursday morning. They were seen specifically in the main area of Fort Myers Beach.
But Mayor Dan Allers said the flooding is only expected to worsen.
“We are urging people to stay home, don’t come onto the island if you don’t need to be here today. You are just creating more of a mess for the people who live and work here and they are going to have to clean up afterwards," he said.
