Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts.

I really don't think that nationally people appreciate the widespread total destruction that took place. No place in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties was spared. Walton and Okaloosa counties were hit hard, too, as were other part of the panhandle and Alabama.

The news is now just starting to get out. This isn't just poor people in shack, trailer trash in mobile homes, or the well to do in their ritzy beach condos.

It is everyone regardless of class, race, or income.

Have been surprised that FOX News and TWC haven't been showing any aerial shots of the damage down there, they seem to have moved on to more mediocre stories. Will watch the local news station in Atlanta tonight and see if it matters to them.

my parents were in Niceville/Destin, they got alot of tree damage, and still without power since I talked with them yesterday. My sister's house was fine, but my brother lost every shingle on his roof. Thank God they are alright.

Anyone in the Niceville Oklaloosa Co area? We want to go but don't know what to expect. Our house is off John Sims Pkwy.

Especially since we haven't seen much coverage. Every time I turn on the TV all I see are pics of Scott Peterson and Michael Jackson and very little hurricane coverage. I can't believe it. You'd think it would have been wall to wall coverage. I have yet to see even one aerial photo. All I've seen is footage of a few trees knocked down and some flooding here and there.
