Yeah, just noticing. Hoping for the best, though.
Also, will say that everyone on the SE Coast or Gulf Coast needs to keep an eye on TD 5...even more so than Danielle. Looks to take a similar track as Charlie...and has the same positives going for it.
Political note now....Pres. Bush and Gov. Bush had better respond strongly and quickly to this disaster. It looks like they are doing so at the moment, which is a very good sign. Pres. G. H. W. Bush was rather slow on the response to Andrew...even though he still won FL in 1992...I think the slow response hurt him beyond the borders of FL. All possible aid should be brought in as quickly as possible...by military or any other means.
Any ideas on why G.H.W. Bush waited?
TD5 is in a similar spot Charley was. I was thinking it might go out to sea or take a more typical August track into the western GOM. Is the trough still supposed to be in place next week? I know it has been quite pesky for what seems like a solid 2 years...
I have a feeling Bush will send whatever is needed to the region. The increased importance of organizations like FEMA since 9/11 is producing much better relief efforts in my opinion.
Yeah, just noticing. Hoping for the best, though.
IIRC, it was because the governor took his sweet time requesting it. For what it's worth, I do remember seeing military trucks in the area of US1 and South Miami on the morning of the storm.
