A 257-member National Guard soldier battallion from Miami will be on their way to Southwest Florida tonight as the clean-up from Hurricane Charley gets underway. Their tasks will be assigned once more damage assessments are complete.
The Sheriff's Office is asking people to avoid traveling on the roads at this time so safety and utility crews as well as emergency responders can perform their respective duties effectively. Deputies are reporting that drivers are not stopping at intersections where traffic lights are not operational. This is causing a traffic hazard and delays for emergency personnel responding to calls for service and assessing safety issues.
Lee County Emergency Medical Services began responding around 6 p.m. to calls in downtown Fort Myers and in east Lee County, spokesman Paul Filla said.Winds in Cape Coral and other parts were still too strong to allow EMS crews to respond.
The service prioritized calls as they came in during the storm so the most serious calls could be tackled first.
EMS received 34 calls between 3:15 and 6 p.m. Most were personal injuries and car accidents. There were two reports of women giving birth during the storm including one at Germain Arena and one at Dunbar High School shelter.
I can never tell if you're kidding........LOL.
