hmmm....the overpass that was underconstruction....makes me wonder if there was a flaw in design somewhere???? Glad it happened with it underconstruction and not when fininshed and cars were on top.

I hope everyone here who lives in the effected area is doing well - since power is still out in many areas of Broward and Dade (the power at my house is back on, though I'm concerned that some vehicles were lost in our building's parking lot due to fallen trees - two of the four fatalities were from fallen trees, and were within two or three miles of my home), I'm staying an extra night here in Sebring (Highlands Co) - being a hurricane evacuee isn't easy, even at a hotel.

P.S. The highway overpass that collapsed was one that has been under construction for the past several months (by my own experience).

P.P.S. Please keeep in your prayers the family of 5 (husband, wife and three children) missing off the southwest Florida coast - the Coast Guard is searching for their boat

this shows you CANNOT underestimate a hurricane, even a CAT 1.

Jim Cantore said it is the strongest CAT 1 he has EVER been in :eek:

Well Cantore ought to know. He has been through quite a few of them. I saw him trying to fight those winds last night. It looked like Katrina was wearing Cantore out. :D

My lord, what were they doing in a boat during a hurricane? I will say a prayer for them.

Definately some impressive pictures. I saw that report from Cantore as well. He was taking a beating!
