This is going to be horrifying to watch.
My prayers are with everyone who may be impacted by the storm.

I mean, this is just horrible.
Not trying to overhype, but that is just the truth.
We've got a very bad situation....

I agree. It's very very bad.

I still say it's way too early to call. IMO

Definitely too early to call, but it's gonna be bad for someone.
