A North Fort Myers resident woke up ready to clear out the debris and destroyed pieces of homes from his lawn at the Lake Fairways Country Club when strangers joined in to help.
A helping hand in North Fort Myers after a Tornado from Milton ripped homes
People are picking up the pieces after Hurricane Milton’s devastating tornado impact.
Bob Blanton got his tools and saws out to make the loose house pieces in his yard smaller and more manageable.
Blanton is one of many homeowners in the Lake Fairways Country Club dealing with piles of broken-up roofing, windows, insulation, and more. Some weren’t even from his home.
He shared that many pieces left in his yard were fragments of a roof that could have come from his neighbor’s home that no longer had a roof.
Driving through the neighborhood, you’ll find destroyed lanais, damaged cars, ruined carports, and debris everywhere.
The Blanton’s returned from Miami on Thursday to deal with Milton’s aftermath. Their home in Pine Lakes Country Club was untouched, but they were shocked to see their other property at Lake Fairways in shambles.
