Still standing does not mean inhabitable or repairable. It will be weeks
before the full impact is known.

Well, it says, "ALL." Hurricane damage simply doesn't work that

Well, we had 90% destruction where the center hit, so I'd say that
"all" would be correct.


No, we didn't. Leaving aside the obvious fact that 90% does not =
100%, we had 90% destruction in *some* areas where the center hit, not
all. Even in Gulfport and Long Beach, MS, the hardest hit cities,
many wood frame buildings have survived.
