The MSM hasn't really showed the extensive damage done in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. It was very bad and last I heard, only about 20% of traffic lights in Broward were working and school is going to start up again tomorrow.

The MSM hasn't really showed the extensive damage done in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. There is a post-Wilma attempt being made to minimize the storm, the way Hunble was minimizing it before it even hit. And it's because NOTHING can be allowed to eclipse the saga of Katrina and NOLA's flooding. Nothing. Never mind that Wilma was intensifying and accelerating when she hit Florida at almost Cat 4, while both Katrina and Rita hit as Cat 3's that were weakening. Even if Miami had been destroyed by a Cat 5, we'd still be hearing about the Ninth Ward.

IIRC...the statistic I heard was that out of some 2600 traffic signals in Broward & Dade, only 16 were functional.
