Still listing to Ft Myers video webstream. The local official is on now, numerous injuries and deaths, downtown Punta Gorda is gone, parts of Port Charlotte gone, all three hospitals partially destroyed & non-functional, massive rescue effort underway, morning will bring pictures that will equal damage from Andrew, winds estimated gusted to 165 mph, cost in damage will rival Andrew.

I think this will exceed Andrew, in unadjusted dollars anyways. This storm ain't over yet! My prayers to the people who got hit. I live just across I75 on the other side of the state. Wish I could do something for them. Hopefully, Florida emergency services will have learned lessons from Andrew, and help will get there quickly.
I am surprised the Hospitals were damaged, one would think those buildings to be built somewhat better than the rest..

And THAT estimate of damages ignores ALL of the interior, Kissimmee, Orlando, and Daytona!
Those areas haven't been heard from yet.
