I wish we could have sent our governor Jeb over to you...
This is really startling to watch the incompetence of the mayor. Where are the grownups?

My thoughts also! Can't believe the incompetence of the mayor either! He recommended people fill their bathtubs with water to drink when they get back! Does he not realize there will be nothing to come back to? I pray for those poor people who will not be able to get out!! So very very sad!!

yeah, that press conference didn't inspire too much confidence.

I don't see any news footage of the evacuation in progress; the roads, etc. are people getting out?

I hope FEMA and anything else the federal government can provide is mobilizing.

I always thought the water in the bathtubs was to bathe & flush the toilets with (assuming the septic system still worked at all).
