Recovery from Hurricane Helene is well underway in Lochmoor Waterway Estates – a North Fort Myers neighborhood along the Caloosahatchee hit hard by the storm surge.

‘It’s happening all over again’: NFM homeowner to raise house after Hurricane Helene storm surge swamps neighborhood
Driving through the neighborhood, you could see waterlines that climb to doorhandles, restoration trucks in full force, and debris piles lining the streets. Dick Marting said his home was hit hard by the flooding.
“That’s where the water level came up to,” said Marting, pointing at the nearly two foot high water line on his garage door.
