Sunday night, the realization of true damage in the south and continuing storm activity in the north.

-- Hatteras island in NC broken into five pieces, 2500 stranded as sole highway to mainland destroyed.

-- Flood waters in Vermont surge to 20 feet in some areas. Hundreds of roads washed out, 140-year-old bridge swept away.

It's so sad that some people like Brad are all too eager to minimize the scope of the catastrophe to make political noise. People have died, people are in trouble right now, it'll take days and weeks for some of these areas to get back to some semblance of normalcy.
