Naples Mayor: ‘The ocean and the bay met at once, and the waters flooded in fast and furious’

Naples Mayor Teresa Heitmann joins Andrea Mitchell after Hurricane Ian ripped through the southwest Florida city, flooding a key fire station and stranding residents. “We prepared for the winds but not for the floods. Unfortunately, the ocean and the bay met at once, and the waters flooded in fast and furious, which caused our Fire Station 1 to flood,” says Heitmann. “Most people followed direction and stayed inside, but we did have a few incidences that our firefighters had to put themselves at risk and and save members of our community.” She says “It was unbelievable.”
