Charley, which moved out of Southwest Florida around 6 p.m., is still a strong category 4 storm. The storm packed winds of 145-plus mph when it struck Sanibel and Captiva islands around 3:30 p.m., after which it tore through Pine Island, North Fort Myers and Cape Coral.

One woman said Cape Coral "looks like a war zone." Four thousand refugees are standing shoulder-to-shoulder inside Cape High.

Hurricane-force winds stretched from south Collier county northward at least to Charlotte Harbor, where the eye of the storm is now.

Damage is widespread across Southwest Florida. In downtown Fort Myers, the roofs of both The News-Press and the post office sustained damage.

The storm forcing water into the first floors of hundreds of coastal buildings.

York, PA.

snyder's comments were something to the effect that between a hurricane and the Florida residents, he'd choose/root for the hurricane. He's toast.
