Estimated $10 Billion in damages. 400 of the 500 hotels sustained significant structural damage. The day it hit, I had the Weather Channel on for most of the day, and there was not a single word mentioned about this hurricane.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
