I don't know if I'd call an experience like that "remarkable".... more like "where's my spare underwear!"
I have to wonder if any part of the island is still above water. The surge had to be horiffic with the wind-driven waves on top of it. We took 10 footers in the bay during Ivan, which broke against the retaining wall for my pool. On the gulf it was an entirely different matter - I saw the damage afterward, with some second-floor condos that had a foot of sand in them (!)
Being stuck on the island, as I understand a significant number of people are, leaves one wondering if they're still there..... let's hope so....
