Continuing the report on August 18 (above) Sanibel was spared.
Ft Myers inland areas and on to central Florida received lots of rain, and low laying Bonita Springs is just now (10 days later) reaching a high tide flooding stage from runoff surface water going North to South flowing as a sheet of drainage water across the fields that could not find a lake or a river to absorb the more than 12" rainfall in central Florida.
Bonita Springs areas like many East coast areas had waist high water in the streets resulting from 1 foot and more of rain now flooding their homes.

We are hoping to stay clear of both Gustav and Hanna now in the Caribbean waters.
So far both storms are projected to head west, however we do not like to see another New Orleans flood so soon after Katrina.

When there is a mandatory evacuation of Sanibel, do you still have to pay the toll at the causway?

Only when you come back, Paul...... lol
