This is a Katrina/Andrew level event. Slightly less, meteorologically, but ...some... steel reinforced concrete doesn’t care above 140 mph. Frame structures, no chance. It looks like Fort Myers took a huge beating from the storm, with storm surges of over 10 feet. 🙁 Be very lucky this storm didn't make a direct beeline for the Tampa Bay region, since a large portion of that region is subject to inundation if the storm surge reaches 10 feet like it is now.
