With the power out, it will take forever to find out just how much damage has been done, and it will be extremely hard to locate and treat the injured.

First light will show a much better picture of what the true story it, but I will make an educated guess and say this hurricane has caused historic damage.

People died from hurricane related injuries for days after Isabel last year. The storm may be over, but the struggle is just beginning.

I think it will rival Andrew in costs when all is said and done. It was a monster, period.

I would be surprised if less than 20-30 people were killed. Damage estimates are already 15-20 billion and they will undoubtedly go higher.

Thank God this thing missed Tampa. As bad as it is, this story could have been TONS worse.
