I actually live in North Port, but Im approx 1 mile from Port Charlotte, the Charlotte county line. So our end of north port got hit pretty good. Honestly the worse part is not having any power in this heat, but luckily I was able to get my hands on a generator and window ac unit. Alot of others were not so fortunate. Some of the trailer parks were just demolished. Heres a few links with pictures.

Small business owners were also hit very hard. A friend of mine working for a bicycle/small motor repair shop the place is gutted. These places dont even have anywhere to relocate. Alot of people without jobs anymore. My wife included the store she worked at was damaged heavily also.
