Pine Island was hit bad. My next door neighbor's parents live on Pine Island and rode out the storm there.
Their home was damaged, so they came over here today.
According to their eyewitness account, the storm damaged or destroyed many homes there - all the mobile home parks suffered major damage.
Pine Island is pretty exposed and was right in the path of the storm.
I'm sure Bokeelia was hit hard but do you know if St. James City fared better? I've got to book a flight and come down (from MD) to check on my place but I've heard the bridge in Matlacha is blocked.
