She reported 150 people DOA ... Anybody else see that report?Just for the record, I was watching Fox News at the time, and heard that interview. She (the hospital spokesman -- doctor?) sounded like she was just stating the facts, and trying to give a conservative estimate.
My jaw dropped when I heard it, but incredibly no one else has reported such a thing.
It seems there is some sort of gag order in effect that is keeping the networks from reporting a death count. One reporter on Fox surmised that they would release the numbers after the president finished his visit.
I have no idea why they would wait. It is the most curious thing.

I know others might not agree, but I think this is one of the things that FR does best.

I know I have to agree, and I thank you, and all the others that gave information and posted pictures for the rest of us. This time, it was Florida and Charley; next time, it might be a tornado or wildfire in our area.
When ever I hear of anything, and can't find it on the tube, or radio, FR is where I go ASAP. It usually doesn't take long for the facts & follow up details to start flowing.
Thank God this was not worse than it was in terms of life and limb, though actual totals won't be known for some time.

I do, too! You weren't here on 9-11, but Huck posted about 2 posts, saying that it happened right near him, he could actually see it, then he didn't post again until late that night.
Needless to say, we freaked!

Here is one of the Tarpon Lodge:
That one palm tree is almost completely through that part of the building.
I'm reminded of Hugo damage - a house destroyed and the one next to it completely intact, in places. Other areas, everything looks bulldozed.
You'll need to take lots of pictures when you go down!
