Being down there just yesterday and thinking about a hurricane hitting Captiva and Sanibel, I find I’m pretty perplexed. How is it possible that 6-8 foot storm surge and 120 mph winds don’t cause more of a panic? I mean stores and restaurants were still open and the road off the island was completely bare. There were probably 15-20 people just fishing on the bridge between those two islands. Do the buildings just withstand those conditions better than I imagine?
