I've only seen one of Sanibel and Captiva at the St. Petersburg Times Web site; showed a palm-tree knockdown. I'm about to start a thread linking to IKONOS satellite pictures of Charlotte Harbor and Punta Gorda obtained August 15. Sobering.

Look for "Punta Gorda/Charlotte Harbor from IKONOS, post-Charley" on Extended News in a couple of minutes.

I understood that Captiva was split in two by "Charlie the thirteenth". We all thank our lucky stars we were not hit worse inland. Even after we got power back here in Highlands co,there was no gas,no ice,no milk,etc. There are still brownouts,and telephone service is still not all up. A lot of people from Highlands,Hardee,Hendry,Glades,and Charlotte counties are inundating Okeechobee county because they only lost power a short time,and they still have plenty of gas,and supplies.
