When the opportunity came to buy an established Florida fishing business, the same company where her son has worked for half a decade, Debra Donze said she and her husband got on board.

But the timing turned out to be catastrophic.

Donze said her husband is getting close to retirement age. So, he got an expected wild hair and wanted to buy the business.

"Then, the hurricane came," she said.

Just days after setting everything up, Hurricane Ian made a direct hit on their new home, new office, and new business as a Category 4 storm on Sept. 28.

"These are just some pictures of the neighbor's house," Donze said as she scrolled through photos of the damage on her phone.

Donze already had strong family ties to the area with several family members, including her mother, who also lived there.

Concerned for those family members, the Donzes jumped in the car and drove to Fort Myers Beach from their Fairview Heights family home.
