FDLE is in the Vistas at Eastwood apartment complex after a shooting early this morning. We know one man is dead after an officer-involved shooting. Neighbors said they hid in closets during the rapid gunfire and heard every shot. Hear all we know on WINK News this morning.

Heavy deputy presence in the Country Creek community in Estero. They’re focusing on one house. Neighbors tell me a couple lives in there, and they didn’t see or hear anything this morning. Investigator is on scene in the house. Deputies say no threat to the public. WINK News

So happy for you and proud!

Fort Myers Beach 💔

GOOD NEWS! Southwest Florida's favorite eagles Harriet and M15 survived Hurricane #Ian, pictured here already rebuilding their original nest in North Fort Myers! ❤️🦅 @WINKNews SWFL Eagle Cam

Radar images of Ian’s eye before, during, and after its 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲. 🌀👁 The surprisingly fast replacement allowed #Ian to nearly triple the size (area) of its eye before landfall, expanding its impacts.

The audio cuts in and out due to a faulty chord, but here is a close look at the damage near FMB.

Today was my first time on Fort Myers Beach since Ian..

Charlotte County was battered but not broken from Hurricane Ian. The devastation Hurricane Ian caused for our residents is beyond belief. No matter what part of Charlotte County you live in, Hurricane Ian has affected you. Charlotte County, we are in this together. ❤️

Our beautiful mangroves that are usually deep green are now brown from Hurricane #Ian

Not every house in Rotonda looks devastated at first glance... but just wait until you see the inside. Again, these people need help, and all it really takes is another set of hands. WINK News

New picture in of storm surge at Naples Airport during Hurricane #Ian from a @WINKNews viewer. Keep in mind elevation is 7 - 8 feet here. @NaplesAirportAPF NWS Miami National Hurricane Center

Preliminary analyses of surveyed high water marks and post-storm simulations after Hurricane #Ian suggest that peak water levels on Ft. Myers Beach, Florida, reached 10-15 ft above normally dry ground. (1/2)

Sept. 28 is a day that Charlotte County residents won't forget. The devastation Hurricane Ian caused for our residents is still beyond belief. Charlotte County, we are in this together and will get through this. ❤️

We need some good news. 10-year-old Charlie Walker is that good news. He doesn't know it, but Walker is the walking savior of Fort Myers Beach. Not everyone can walk miles for supplies... so he took his wheelbarrow, picked them up & brought them back to his street. WINK News

FIRST TRACK for Subtropical Storm #NICOLE, forecast to turn west and strike Florida on Thursday. Hurricane can’t be ruled out. Nicole’s large size will cause significant wind, storm surge, and rainfall impacts far from it’s center. #TropicalUpdate #flwx 🌀🌀🌀

#BREAKING 🌀 Hurricane #Nicole has made landfall just south of Vero Beach as of 3 AM. This is the first November hurricane to make landfall along the Florida East Coast in 87 years (1935). @WINKNews
