Marc,

One of the news stories was, that the islands did indeed take a big hit. They said that, on Sanibel 100% of the structures had some damage. As last I heard, they were still not allowing residents back there to their homes.

We, here on the east central coast of Fl. have come to respect the power of these storms, and believe me this one came way too close for comfort.

My heart goes out to those poor people in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte. They will be digging out for some time.

So glad to know that our LCT friends are safe.

Betty
