I honeymooned there also. Bought some old maps from a lady that had them framed and sent to us. Must have been 27 years ago now. Didnt last as long as yours!
I tried to by a 69 Z28 off pine island about 2012. That guy had been there before it got real popular and was just a block house and garage. The bar and grill at the end of his street sure had good fish. I doubt it is still there. Woodys was the name of it

Sure looks like an inferno on the island

The Eastern side of Pine Island didn't get as devastated as the west, but still had severe flooding. The apartment we had reserved was on ground floor. Uninhabitable after and no insurance available for that level, as the home had to be built on stilts and anything built on the ground was the homeowners problem.
We are booked in a stilt home in Homosassa for the coming Feb. We may run down there for a day just to ogle and buy a few things to support their economy.
We have old neighbors in Cape Coral, who did get some minor flooding and wind damage and she has sent me pics of the damage and how much is still not cleaned up or repaired in that whole area. Many people and business's lost everything in that disaster too. We know that from Ms. Gibb losing her home and possessions.

Wow, I hope they are OK too. From what I read, no power or cell service, so it's going to be a while before those are restored. I'll be hoping for their safety too.
