At 11:30 a.m. today, Aug. 5, Lee County reported that Parks & Recreation is assessing sites for damage and impacts from Hurricane Debby, which made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend earlier in the day.

Bunche Beach Preserve, Lynn Hall Memorial Park and access No. 4 of Bonita Beach Park are currently closed. The public is advised that some parking areas along Bonita Beach are also impacted. The closures are temporary. The public can monitor Lee County social media or visit www.LeeGov.com for updates.

Lee County Emergency Management continues to monitor the impacts the community experienced on Aug. 4. Lee County Department of Transportation crews continue working today to ensure roads are clear and drainage continues to flow to the extent that the onshore winds allow. DOT and Solid Waste have staff in the impacted areas to address the extent of the damage and any debris-removal needs.

Natural Resources staff are assessing areas of accumulated rainfall. The Department of Community Development asks that any unincorporated Lee County residents with water intrusion in their homes email FIRMinfo@leegov.com for assistance with permit requirements and resources. Residents also can visit www.leegov.com/dcd/BldPermitServ/disaster-recovery for information.

Emergency Management asks residents in coastal areas and along rivers to be aware of today’s tidal cycles, though onshore winds are expected to subside later today.

All Lee County Transit (LeeTran) routes are fully operational; no detours remain in place.
