reporter already criticizing Bush for the Tampa evacuations.
They always criticize AFTER the fact. Freaking idiots.
And what exactly was he supposed to do when a million people live on barrier islands in Pinellas County with only about 4 bridges to the peninsula, and then only 3 bridges to Tampa (the mainland).
All the models predicted a direct hit on Tampa, even as late as late this morning.
He may be a good Governor, but he's not God!
What idiots. He didn't evacuate this area, the local county commissions made the decision.
If they hadn't evacuated and the hurricane had made a direct hit, there would be far more criticism. Everything west of the Intracoastal Waterway and most of Pinellas County would be under water right now and there could be thousands dead.
They made the right decision. The hurricane didn't make it's turn until around noon today.
We dodged a bullet this time!
