And by the way, the pictures I saw earlier are always tight shots and the bigger ones show much less damage. Look at some of the damage, short of that rather modern office building that lost its windows, most often the damage seems to old wood structures, tin-roof sheds and garages, the usual gas station canopies.

BTW, no need to be rude. I'm not the only one to suggest this is not an end-of-the-world storm. Most of my comments, and those by some others, simply question the breathless reporting of people like Shep on Fox, the nanny state ordering people around, the reporters and weather folks declaring these storms worst ever, etc. A big storm, yes, dangerous, yes, people unprepared or living at the water or in old, substandard structures should evacuate, etc. Doesn't the over-the-top reporting bother you? Give you pause as to the conditioning it does to have everyone trust the government and media, jump when they say to, etc.?

Yawn. Boring. See ya.

Funny, I saw a video of an extensive drive in Panama City that showed extensive damage block after block. I saw videos of extensive damage and deep surge in Mexico Beach. You pretend otherwise, idiot. Anyone who is so wedded to a point of view is contemptible. You would spread lies to promote such. That is the way of liberals, not conservatives.
