Thank you everyone. I happened to find GetBackData last night and let it run while I barely slept. Error messages looked real bad, and this morning I was able to browse around a partial tree of my hard drive but of course my main interest was GONE (My Pictures). Yet, I did a search on dsc*.jpg and found tons of my files. I'll grab them now while I can and use the image option to get the rest if possible.

And thanks for the heads up that running RAID1 isn't going to prevent this in the future. What I have is certainly a currupted filesystem. Any idea how that happens or are there a million ways?
