This is a major disaster for Boca Grande... most of the island is just a few feet above sea level. Storm surge could be ten feet or more. This one's gonna hurt!!

It went right through Boca Grande Pass and is headed up Charlotte Harbor right now!! OUCH!!!! There are some real expensive homes that are suffering right now. That last Cat. 4 Hurricane to hit the US was Andrew, I think...
