Jeb: "People had time to prepare for this storm. They were told to prepare for 72 hours and a loss of power is nothing compared to what your neighbors may have lost. Put things in perspective. We did not perform to where we want to be yesterday. Today will be significantly better. Answering a question from the press about power out now for many.."36 after a hurricane having no power is common. The power companies are making an effort to power up the north/south roads and school closings allowed the power companies to reprioritize the areas to power up gas stations, etc."
The press quotes the criticism of Mayor of Miami/Dade regarding FEMA slow response. Jeb told reporter "Check your notes. I doubt this mayor said that! I am establishing a no-criticize zone. If anyone wants to blame anyone, blame me...Jeb ..not FEMA. If anyone has a complaint, call me and complain."
