No water. No electricity. Limited cell. Some damage in our little park home community, but nothing like the rest of the area. NO flooding for us. 95% power loss. Catastrophic in every sense of the word.

We bailed and drove to Ft Lauderdale on the east coast. Going back tomorrow with 20 gallons of gasoline for generators, 20 gallons of water. Best we can do. We’ll assess once there and decide whether to leave the state, go back to Ft Lauderdale ($160 a night!!!)

Ft Lauderdale: gas cans hard to come by. Ice in Walmart gone. Meat section virtually empty.

When electric goes, everything stops. No gas, no food, no ice, water, no nothing. And that’s the status across a lot of Florida and 95% of Fort Myers area.

Un-freaking believable. Desantis did incredible job prepping – all kinds of power line guys started work this morning to restore power. So many trees to be cleared. The bridge to Sanibel Island – google it, marvelous place, gorgeous beaches, shelling, high end communities, shops – bridge connection impassable. Will have to be rebuilt. Only access is by boat.

Un-freaking-believable.
