On CNN.com's front page:

Now they're all finally getting in on the act and telling us what we already know. They don't want to appear as being behind the curve, and since the news is out, they might as well join in.

This is what MSM should have done before going around saying, "We dodged a bullet" so prematurely. If they claim they couldn't reach the affected areas until now so they didn't know about the devastation, ask them how they could conclude we dodged a bullet without having gotten into those areas to confirm whether or not there was devastation. Seems to me they simply should have been cautiously optimistic at best, and held off any proclamations of dodging a bullet until having more information. Once again, they're caught with their pants down.

I think it was on Fox that I heard where they said 100% of the buildings were destroyed, and 80% were totally GONE - disappeared.

Honore was talking and said that one building could probably be fixed - the townhall or courthouse - on stilts and tall ground.
