I promise you it's worse. There is no way to wrap your head around it without seeing it. I tried telling a friend how bad it was. She didn't believe me until she was driving on I-10, 50 miles inland and saw the trees snapped like toothpicks mile after mile after mile. Hopefully, the change in rating will give us some desperately needed air time that will generate some much needed funds. People are still sleeping in tents.
