A National Guard team found 20 survivors in Mexico Beach overnight, and more crews are pushing into the area, with the fate of many residents unknown.

State officials said 285 people in Mexico Beach refused to leave ahead of the hurricane despite a mandatory evacuation order.

Mishelle McPherson and her ex-husband searched for the elderly mother of a friend. The woman lived in a small cinderblock house about 150 yards (137m) from the Gulf and thought she would be OK.

Her home was reduced to crumbled cinderblocks and pieces of floor tile.

“Aggy! Aggy!” McPherson yelled.

The only sound that came back was the echo from the half-demolished building and the pounding of the surf.

“Do you think her body would be here? Do you think it would have floated away?” she asked.

Dirtboy, you don't get it. You are so gung-ho on end of the world hype that you don't get it. No one is discounting that there is damage, a few peopled died. Hurricanes happen, tornados happen, earthquake happens. Fine. But the point is the hype, the conditioning, the whinning. When it comes to these events you are a Democrat! You want everyone to heed the media and government, bow to their edicts, tell people what to do, when to do it, how. And, yep, you'll want the government to pay for it all. And, like a good democrat, you throw insults and wave bloody shirts instead of partaking in substantive discussion. Oh well, hope the line isn't too long for a handout. Will or does your Obama phone have texting and Internet browsing?

And I'm done with this thread. If someone wants to have a substantive discussion, maybe we can do so in a new thread. But this thread and the rude insults and BS by two people in particular is done. Enjoy your bullying. Glad we don't see you trashing our many other discussions like you have done here. FR is better than this. Bye.
