It started at Publix where we took a look inside to see empty shelves as the residents await the reopening of the much-needed Supermarket. We then walked through several neighborhoods in the area to check on the progress and out onto the beach for a quick look at several condos. The walkaround was sponsored by Jorge Barrera. Watch it HERE.

She started out at Bowdich Park which remains closed to beachgoers. She then traveled up and down the side streets on the North end of the island all the way to Ohio Avenue. Her Sunday ride was sponsored by Remove it Pros and you can watch it HERE.

Monday started with a meet-and-greet for the community to get to know the four finalists chosen by Interim Town Manager Keith Wilkins to fill the position of Fort Myers Beach Town Manager. It ended with Andrew Hyatt (pictured here) being offered the job.

On Monday, the National Hurricane Center released its report on Hurricane Ian. One of the more noteworthy items from the report is the upgrade of the maximum intensity to a Category 5 (160 mph) before landfall. The landfall intensity in SW Florida is maintained as a Category 4 (155 mph).
