Numbers are going so fast because substations and main transmission lines are failing. Electric and telecommunications grids are taking a beating right now.

Going to be 2 - 4 weeks plus for many to get power back.  Suspect lots of infrastructure damage.

Definitely. It’s all under 5 feet+ of water and 100+ mph winds. 
 

Unfortunately that's why mandatory evacuations are issued. We can't force you to leave, but no one is coming if/when you need assistance during the storm.

Am I hallucinating or does it look like the SW part of the eye wall could slide under Charlotte harbor and spare them the worst of the surge? Seems to be moving ENE now...

kind of a pick your poison, a bit better for Charlotte Harbor, but worse for Fort Myers.

Looks like Englewood, Murdock, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and Lake Suzy are primed to get into the western and NW eye wall over next 30-90 minutes.  Going to be bad.  Fort Myers area in prime surge area they are getting lambasted by onshore flow and will continue to be for a while longer.  Surge still rising there.
