The impression I am getting is that the damage from Rita is relatively minor to the damage that was forecast.

From your lips to God's ear... but I fear your impression is quite incorrect.

KPRC 2 stream just had a report of a building collapse in Galveston. Still too dark to show much.

All electric appears out, except in downtown.

Building appeared to be a 2 story older building that housed a restaurant.

[We'll see more of this when daylight comes, winds die down, and helo's get to fly cameras around. We initially got reports after Katrina that the damage didn't seem too bad -- until overflights told a different story.]
