they go by there to snap a picture. don t sugar coat, it i just need to know, and, you know, i am i am the first one i m on the front line. i m not on the beach side, but there is there are no buildings on the beach in front of me, so it s the gulf, the beach, a road and myself, so i am on the front line, but, no, i i don t know yet. i know you re getting emotional, and it s totally understandable given what you ve gone through, so many others have gone through, and you don t know what the state of your own home is and all your possessions. were you able to board up the house before you left? yes. it s very interesting. because this michael just started last friday as a thunderstorm south of the yucatan, and saturday morning it was a little bit stronger, i said, okay, it s going to be a tropical storm and we ve lived through, that and then there s a couple of boat captains that
. we re back live in destin, florida. i want to go straight to the phone to linda albrecht, city councilwoman, east of me in mexico beach, a place that really bore the brunt of this category 4 hurricane. and linda, it s my understanding you evacuated. it is not looking good back home in mexico beach, and this has been really emotional for you. how are you holding up? it s really emotional. it s it s like a nightmare. and you just want somebody to shake you and wake you up. how can this happen? you know, it s so devastating. and it wasn t it came on so quickly. and that s what everybody in town is saying. because last friday, it was a thunderstorm south of the yucatan. and it has just blossomed so quickly that nobody could think
