Well, I just got back from volunteering/helping out in the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area., video and still pics of the damage does not do justice, when you see it with your own eyes like I did today, it is just unreal. The real damage or where the eyewall went thru was about 10-12 miles wide and within that zone there are buildings literally flattened, many roofs off, and trees snapped in half. It will take that area probably 3 to 5 years to fully recover. Some good news though, most of the power is back on in the area. Back to the tropics, I don't see anything imminent developing, but the CV wave I think will have a good chance as it moves further west, everywhere else it seems pretty quiet for mid to late august.
