The hurricane’s center struck Wednesday afternoon near Cayo Costa, a protected barrier island just west of heavily populated Fort Myers. The massive storm was expected to trigger flooding across a wide area of Florida as it crawled northeastward across the peninsula.

As the storm moves across Florida and toward Central Florida, News 6 viewers are sharing images of the damage and impacts around their homes. News 6′s team of reporters are also sharing images and video of the storm.
