We're just now getting busy ... but I wanted to pass along this news: Apparently, an elderly couple in the Port Charlotte area died in the storm. That would bring the death toll to four.
There was a freeper on the hurrican thread talking about his parents/grandparents? living in a small house there. They refused to leave and wouldn't board up because they'd never been hit by a storm. I hope they're ok.
Yes they are only reporting 2 and 3 in Cuba
The pictures are just heart wrenching of the damage!
