Let me reiterate, for those of you with challenged reading skills...I know there's a lot of damage down there, I know the storm was a bad one, and I wouldn't have been in contact with people I know down there if I wasn't concerned about them, my comment was strictly regarding the way the media hypes the storms up. They said, several times, that the wind speeds they were reporting were taken from 4500 feet. What people would seem to be more concerned with is what is the wind speed at ground level, or roof level, what is the storm surge going to be like, etc...you know, things that will have a direct effect on them and theirs. I will also say that they didn't overstate storm surge a bit, and that's where the bulk of the damage was caused.
