  I am experiencing an unbelievable amount of SPAM traffic today and, in many instances, AKISMET is not catching them. Is anyone else experiencing this?

  Between my Theme Preview problems, the lengthy update time frame and now the SPAM issue, I am ready to pull my hair out!

  Was the spam you reported already in your spam folder?

  If so, Akismet caught it.

  Yes – but about 10 or so got through to my comments section. And I have received so many today – crazy! Like 50 in an hour

  Yes there’s a lot of spam around today. As long as it’s going to your spam folder automatically, Akismet is doing its job. You can just click the Delete All Spam button to get rid of it.
