Thanks for posting that link! Doesn’t look good, although there are some great survival tales coming out, so maybe it won’t be too tragic.
Survival tales are always great, but you never hear much about the tragedies. They are all dead or severely injured.
Praying it’s so.. God be with them.
Very tough scenes.

Island closed; crews look for dead and injured

Excerpt:
About 100 people have been rescued, authorities said. At least four have been flown to local hospitals in critical condition.
Seventeen structures have collapsed, including two apartment buildings. One of the apartment buildings is at Holiday Drive and Church Street. The other is near First Street and Ferry Road, City Manager Steve LeBlanc said.
Rescue crews will search the debris for bodies and injured people, he said.
Ten of the 17 buildings are homes that collapsed because of fire. City crews have been able to search as far west as 11 Mile Road but everything beyond that is still under water.
The causeway is in “bad shape,” LeBlanc said. “It is covered in debris and the road has buckled in places.”

Wasn’t there a couple who were going to stay there,
reporting on it as it happened? I wonder if this is their
report.
