From http://www.nbc-2.com/

100% damage to all buildings except one: fire station
60% of buildings are demolished


They didn't give a report on injuries.

Let's hope it's just someone trying to grab some attention. If that were truly the case, I would think at least the local station - ABC-2 - would have reported something...

the nbc-2 com website does not mention any serious damage to Captiva & Sanibel?!

These are the only mentions I could find.

CAPTIVA

Reports from Captiva: Docks in [dis?]array, 15 to 20 trees across road, power out, minor damage to homes (6:00 pm)


Power outage reports: Lehigh 12,000, Cape Coral: 66,000, many Sanibel residents without power (5:30)

I don't think they have much information yet. Will be many more estimates and reports tomorrow morning.
