History Repeating Itself in Ft. Myers

“They promised it wouldn’t happen again.” That’s what a former colleague at WINK (Ft. Myers) told another newer staffer after the station in downtown Fort Myers flooded…again.

And now, they’re bracing for another hit.

As Milton turns in the gulf, the storm surge could surpass Hurricane Ian, which flooded WINK. They also took on flood waters from Helene. “Will employees be forced to stay and get flooded for a THIRD time?” one staffer asked FTVLive.

If Milton stays on the projected path, WINK will likely be flooded again.

Let’s hope management takes it a bit more seriously this time.
