'I've lost my entire fence. All my shingles in my house are gone. We've got trees down everywhere, people have lost power,' said Ferraro who is a native of Pennsauken, NJ.
The storm made landfall near Cayo Costa, a barrier island just west of heavily populated Fort Myers. It's one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the U.S.
The Category 4 storm slammed the coast with 150 mph winds and pushed a wall of storm surge accumulated during its slow march over the Gulf. More than 1.8 million Florida homes and businesses were without electricity, according to PowerOutage.us. Nearly every home and business in three counties was without power.
