I know you asked about NOAA ... right now, I haven't seen anything about that.

It might take a phonecall to NOAA or the NHC to find out who hasn't checked in, if they'd even tell you. I'd bet that would be an indication of extreme damage.

UPDATE:

The eye passed directly over Punta Gorda, a city of 15,000 on Charlotte Harbor. At the county airport, wind tore apart small planes, and one flew down the runway as if it were taking off. The storm spun a parked pickup truck 180 degrees, blew the windows out of a sheriff’s deputy’s car and ripped the roof off an 80- by 100-foot building.

In DeSoto County outside Arcadia, several dead cows, wrapped in barbed wire, littered the roadside.
