The strange thing about Wilma is that it totally disrupted life down here in South Florida for at least a couple of weeks yet almost nothing about this was reported in the national media. Fortunately, most of the damage was loss of electricity and damaged roofs but there was incredible DISRUPTION down here for that period.
Mayhap because there was "nothing" to be said that could involve mud-dumping on Governor Jeb Bush and/or President George W. Bush.
I finally had five uprooted trees removed from the yard last week after being in line for two months. All but the roof has been repaired; another wait in line.
People affected by the storms are most often referred to as --Rita "survivors"; Katrina "victims."
I'm going to get a T-shirt that says "I survived Rita and, so far, Katrina victims." Our crime rate has gone up thanks to Katrina victims.
