Lee County Lifts Its Mandatory Evacuations

The Lee County Emergency Operations Center has rescinded the mandatory evacuation orders, effective immediately, for the following areas of Lee County:

Beach Beach

Fort Myers Beach

Big and Little Hickory Islands

Black Island

Lovers Key

San Carlos Island

They still expect up to 30-40 mph winds and heavy rain before Tropical Storm Isaac exits the area, so residents are urged to exercise extreme caution when crossing bridges, or driving along coastal and low-lying roads.  If you can’t see the road because it’s flooded – Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
