We are in Punta Gorda also. Left at the last minute Tuesday night and slept in the car one night and spent Wed. and Thurs. in a HI Express that we were lucky to get the last room. (I actually asked at one hotel that didn't have vacancies, but I guess I looked so pathetic he said I have a sister property in Ft. Lauderdale that has one room available, I'll call and tell them to hold it).
Anyway came home to no air or water. Threw out almost all of our refrigerated items. Out damage was some water seepage through the front door that damaged a love seat, lost a little bit of soffit, lost one tile and lost 5 palms and our bushes are a mess.
Our water and air came on last night. We were very fortunate. They were predicting 18 feet of storm surge for Punta Gorda. We're on a canal. Our elevation is 9 feet, so we would have lost everything.
But due to what I consider a "miracle" we had no storm surge and the above damage is all we suffered.
