Looking around Captiva, it’s hard to see what storm caused the damage. You have remnants of Ian, Helene and Milton.
Heading onto the island, utility trucks line the road as crews work to restore power. When you hit Captiva Road, you can see part of the road broken like peanut brittle.
Around the corner from South Seas, a parking lot is destroyed with pieces of it in the Gulf.

One thing you can’t miss: the sand.
“The sand is unbelievable,” said Bob Rando, president of Captiva Cruises. “It reminds me of a snowstorm because they’re plowing the sand off the roads like they would plow snow off the roads.”
Rando avoided the sand the day after Milton by taking a boat to the island to assess the damage.
“We actually had worse damage to our dock from Helene than from Milton,” he said. “We actually pulled a lot of the dock out and just stacked the boards by the office and tied them up by the wheelchair ramp going into the office.”
