I think I saw a post last night on the live from the 9/11 Magic thread that said they would be there today.
I think that it said they'd be the first to be there since the 'cane hit. mentioned that Capt. Tom said there would be a noticable amount of greenery missing for anyone who had been there before.
We are to be there 10/8 and I'm anxious to look out and see if the difference is considerably noticable having had that magnificent early Friday morning view a coupl of times before.
