Charles and Charlotte - so sorry for your loss.
Yup - we drove up to Gainesville a couple of weeks ago. Saw a lot of that. Now.... imagine that 5 times worse and you will understand how badly Panama City and Mexico Beach got hit. Locals here are still fuming about how little coverage we get for the disaster here. 2nd worst hurricane ever to hit US. We are still under a state of emergency in Bay County. Currently about 400 FEMA trailers have been delivered to homeless, and God knows how many folks are living in tents or their own RV's. We just thank God that the storm dinked east, just before it hit us, and only blew off parts of our roof, all our fencing and trees. Looking out my front window I can see trees snapped in half liked you show in your picture! :)
BTW - Although I don't post very often, I do read this topic every day - However, I will be off line for a bit - going in for knee replacement surgery tomorrow morning.

We just got done traveling I-10 from Pensacola to Tallahassee and the amount of damage is still amazing. There are stretches where all the trees have been sheered off about 10-15 feet above ground and others uprooted. We pulled off around Marianna, intending to pull into a Hardee's truck parking area. They were open, obviously serious damage somewhat repaired but their sign was a mangled piece of junk. All the billboard signs along the interstate were trashed. This went on for about 100 miles.
