I have never seen anything like this before. Trees uprooted every where. This one right down the street has roots over 80 ft across pulled right out of the ground. My gf's step dads hospital in cape coral got hit by a twister also.:bash: Every light pole on I-75 near punta gorda through Ft. Myers was bent like aluminum foil. There was a trailer park....... Key word was WAS!!!!

One good thing is all the toll bridges aren't working!

There was one unofficial report of a wind gust to 174mph, BEFORE the anemometer blew off. This was one very powerful yet EXTREMELY compact hurricane.

The only good thing about this storm was it's relative small size and fast movement. Unfortunately where the worst part of the storm hit, it was very bad...
