I have a cousin in Lehigh Acres, near Ft. Myers.

Any news yet from that area?

I dunno, I'm in NC, but I'm listening to the live feed for some Orlando news station (look further up the thread, some kind FReeper provided a link). They showed some footage from Ft. Myers; it was blowing pretty darn hard. They also said an evacuation center full of 1,400 people, the roof came off. And a post office lost a roof.

My brother lives in San Carlos Park, a little southwest of Lehigh Acres.

Amazingly, he got thru to me a couple of hours ago via cell phone.

He has no power and no water, some bent-up trees and a few missing shingles. But he has a portable generator that he'll turn on later.

But he says his neighborhood looks fairly good.
