I know it's hard to ask people to leave their home and possesion behind but it seems this would have been easier to deal with if the population had evacuated. I know it's a big area but there was at best good advanced warning what they were in for. Even though the violance has disgusted many across the country even in the face of what has happened serious help is on the way but you can't help but ask yourself how long can we keep picking up the pieces from these storms? > As i write this we have 3 depressions in the Atlantic and 1 in the Gulf > that are forming and it's still 3+ months left in the season. > Newborn Some one mentioned on the radio today that FL was at high risk from at least one of these. It seems Florida and the Gulf are the pick for the Hurricanes this season. Hope all goes well for you and they pass by. Better yet fizzle before arriving.
