I'm not sure about evacs in that area to be honest. I know the majority were evacuated further north. I also have heard numerous reports that warnings were not heeded by a fair amount of folks. No one thought anything of that Cat 2 we had yesterday... The media was off the ball on this one, big time.
I do not know exactly what the population density is around Port Charlotte, but some location in that vicinity is currently being destroyed and carried out to sea.
There's about 120,000 people who live in the Port Charlotte-Punta Gorda area. Those people were told to evacuate. For their sake, I hope they heeded those warnings.
I hope the prayer warriors are on this. You'd think I was a bleeding heart liberal the way my heart breaks for people in harms way. I wish there was something I could do to fix this and everything else that goes wrong.
