I understood that Captiva was split in two by "Charlie the thirteenth". We all thank our lucky stars we were not hit worse inland. Even after we got power back here in Highlands co,there was no gas,no ice,no milk,etc. There are still brownouts,and telephone service is still not all up. A lot of people from Highlands,Hardee,Hendry,Glades,and Charlotte counties are inundating Okeechobee county because they only lost power a short time,and they still have plenty of gas,and supplies.

NorthCaptiva was split. North Captiva is only accessible by boat or small plane, and is very exclusive. This island took a huge hit.
