Florida is known as the USA's sunshine state.

However, the annual hurricane season can make it a terrifying place.

On 28th September, hurricane Ian, a category four storm, damaged houses and buildings with strong winds and floods.

Hurricane Ian also took 30 lives.

Residents of Cape Coral are slowly recovering from the destruction.

However, some like Kenneth Lowe have accepted this reality and have decided to remain.

Florida experiences the most hurricanes in the USA.

While scientists remain uncertain about the increasing frequency of future storms, they agree on their increasing size and strength.

Rising sea temperatures due to climate change are responsible.

Tamara Lang remains positive about the situation.

She hopes another 100 years will pass before the next major storm.

Cape Coral was constructed on soft, wetland - a marshland, which means the area floods easily.

In 30 years, sea levels are predicted to rise 14-18 inches and authorities must now reconsider where homes can be built.

Facing the destruction of hurricane Ian, some may now think of leaving, but others will not give up their dream home.
