At a gig, limited bandwidth of many varieties, but quick scan says Sanibel and at least the Blind Pass end of Captiva dodged a bullet. (Copyright jeffers, 2022, I just made this phrase up all by myself... ;-))
Gap in the eyewall?
Ft. Myers Beach and points east and south, obviously not. Lighthouse area and causeway, some sand moved around.
First floor sheetrock/insulation needs replaced... maybe second too. MUCH trash.
No new breaches. No wall of debris, no missing neighborhoods, no... bare sand.
There’s a breach on the second causeway landing that I hadn’t seen earlier. Both high sections... look.. intact.
Devil’s in the details.
Early yet, but I’m not bumming over anything seen yet on those two islands. Not compared to what.. probably... should.. have been.
If you look carefully you can see a break in the photo compilation at the west end of the causeway. The south end of Sanibel is impacted (boats scattered, trees stripped), but north of there including Captiva is an earlier photo as there is absolutely no damage.
