Please... I want to know. What was the offical winds at landfall?
130 mph was what I thought. And I mean REAL OFFICAL INFO because there are actually goofballs saying category 2. It was a category 3, but of what intensity? ALSO... what was this "EXTREME SURGE" and where is the "EXTENSIVE/EXTREME" damage?
I REALLY NEED INFO...

What is the freaking big deal? You can't possibly expect a 10-page report detailing every little thing that happened down there just 14 hours after landfall. Come on...
You can't even get on the barrier islands and likely won't be able to for days, if not weeks.

From http://www.hurricanetrack.com :
"John and I have been out surveying the damage in and around Gulf Shores and I have to say it is bad. The storm surge has made its way up to Sawgrass Landing and Zoo Drive. From there, down Hwy 59 the surge is still too high to get through. We have not been able to reach our HLP vehicle but as of dawn this morning we had a web cam image being sent to the site."
