Panama City is a vibrant seaside city. Popular vacation spot for both families & college students. Early reports from locals is catastrophic devastation. As it was described to me, the electric grid won’t need to be restored, it will need to be rebuilt. #Sayfie

Search and Rescue Begins Amid Ruins of Florida Coast
Some people elected to ride the hurricane out.
That was not a good move. At least six are dead. More will come.
A Search and Rescue Effort Begins amid ruins of Florida Coast.
Search-and-rescue teams rushed on Thursday to reach communities that Hurricane Michael leveled, hoping to find survivors of the powerful storm after its rampage through the Florida Panhandle and beyond left buildings collapsed and splintered, hospitals damaged, roads and water systems compromised and more than a million homes and businesses without electricity.
Although it was clear by afternoon that the storm had caused widespread damage, some areas remained largely cut off, and the authorities were trying to deploy rescuers by helicopter and boat.
“This is a very dense part of the state, so it’s going to be a lot of work to get to everybody,” Gov. Rick Scott of Florida said. “But we will get to everybody.”

Wow. So sad.

This has happened many times in the past. Andrew and Katrina were far worse. They’ll be up and running in time for next summers tourist season.
My sister used to live in that area, and it was last threatened in 1979 by Hurricaine David, which ending up shifting to the west and hitting Mobile.
I wonder if there’s a slight chance americans will pull back from our borders and get busy with their domestic affairs.
Thanks for the update. The level of destruction is incredible and very sad. I hope the victims get the help they need.

Soon to be revised to 10,856 dead and Trump is entirely at fault – to be repeated 24/7 by the fake legacy media the week of the midterms
