Actually I lived through Hurricane Andrew. It's was a nightmare.

Were were trapped for 4 days (3 weeks before power was restored), unable get out of our neighborhood (every road was blocked) and we patrolled our area with shotguns as the cops or rescue, overwhelmed to begin with, couldn't get in or out.

It was damn near 2 1/2 days before we heard a damn thing from the state and about 4 days before the Feds got their sh*t together.

We finally started to see military choppers ferrying supplies into Homestead almost a WEEK after the storm.

Governor Childs and Bush Sr. took major hell for the lax response. They damned well deserved it!

Friggin African countries get faster responses in times of disaster. Bush had better treat this as a political problem!!
