Lorraine Regan thought she was going to die. The only thing she wanted after Hurricane Ian lashed out in a fury on Sanibel Island last week was to let her kids know she survived one of the strongest hurricanes ever to strike Florida. Now, it will be a tale to tell generations about the harrowing ordeal she lived through. The mother of four from coastal New Jersey had experienced tropical storms but never a hurricane like this. "I had no idea how bad it was going to be. I wish I had evacuated, but it was too late, so I just had to deal with it," Regan said. As seawater rose from the Gulf of Mexico, cars in her parking lot began to submerge. The water kept coming. Link in bio. #hurricaneian #hurricane #ian #sanibelisland #sanibel #florida
