Brown said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t even cry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While caring for her son, Duckwall found another storage bin he used for the family cat as they floated toward a neighbor\u2019s house on higher ground for safety.<\/p>\n<p>Brown said they were caught in the eye wall of the hurricane at the time of the escape, which produced up to 150-mile-per-hour winds causing debris to fly all around them.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, she said, no one was hurt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know if we were going to make it \u2014 to be totally honest,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI remember looking at Chad and just saying, \u2018I don\u2019t want to die. I don\u2019t want to die.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next day, they returned to their home to assess the damage caused by Florida\u2019s fifth most powerful storm to hit the U.S. mainland, which brought 250-500mm (10-20 inches) of rainfall and storm surges of 12-15ft that drove 1.7 million people from their homes, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2022\/oct\/03\/hurricane-ian-cost-death-toll-florida\">The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Brown and Duckwall hoped to salvage their belongings, but most of the stuff had been displaced or damaged, noting their couch landed on the kitchen counter, and the dining room table moved into the living room.<\/p>\n<p>The family will stay with one of their relatives in a condo until they can rebuild and recover from the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Brown told local media that they experienced Hurricane Irma in 2017, which she said they evacuated then for no reason and ultimately caused her to ignore the mandatory evacuation order.<\/p>\n<p>Which she now regrets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will never stay again,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI will absolutely evacuate \u2014 I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a category 1, I\u2019m not staying ever again for a hurricane. I never want to experience that again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, reports show the storm has left 32 people dead in Florida and South Carolina, approximately 10,000 people are still considered missing, and could cost Florida up to $40 billion of insured losses.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said Hurricane Ian\u2019s damage to Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast communities was a \u201ccharacter-altering event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are entire communities \u2014 Fort Myers Beach no longer exists,\u201d Rubio<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/marco-rubio-hurricane-ian-damage-to-floridas-gulf-coast-a-character-altering-event\"> said<\/a>. \u201cI mean, it\u2019ll have to be rebuilt. It\u2019ll be something different. And even the structures that are standing \u2014 I was with the Coast Guard two days ago as we went overhead on it \u2014 even the structures that are standing have been damaged by water, probably uninhabitable and have to be razed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Hurricane Ian decimated the Gulf Coast of Florida last week, a woman in Fort Myers swam to safety in 10-foot-deep waters with her three-month-old son swaddled in a blanket and secured in a car seat that she tucked inside a storage bin. \u201cTerrifying,\u201d Callie Brown told KSBW 8 Actions News, which first reported her &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1670921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1670919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1670919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1670921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1670919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1670919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1670919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
