Naples Mayor on Irma Aftermath: ‘It’s About as Bad You Can Imagine Without Actually Going out and Seeing It’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BARNETT: "Well, from what I can tell, Eric, it is not good, and you know the eye wall went through us now. We had that calm and then the winds started again, and it has now switched but it is blowing hard, it’s still raining and the storm surge is starting. Our main business fifth avenue south is flooded, and this is just the start of it. So streets are flooding. We won’t be able to get out until probably sunrise tomorrow morning to assess the damage. The pictures that have come in, trees down, you power lines, it’s about as bad as you can imagine without seeing it."
