The approach of a hurricane -- nay, a tropical storm -- is not, in my opinion, grounds to ratchet up authority. Unless, possibly, you're surrounded by aging dykes.
It's about self government, not appeasing insurance companies, lawyers, and pollsters.
sorry I do not agree.
The local buses stopped their routes and all the old people were called and pick-up times arranged...shelters opened. Many apartments and homes in the inner area can not be safe even in this kind of storm...it takes time to set it all up.
It seems it is not going to be a repeat of labor day 2004. Everyone will be glad to see that and cancel lots of evacuation plans.
Most of us have homes built for the area and just buy some extra water and have storm parties until it is over....exactly as we did for snow storms predicted and only sometimes happening in NY.
How this became about aging dykes is a mystery to me.
Appeasing Insurance companies, lawyers and pollsters seems off-the-mark in the situation under discussuion...Jeb doing his job.
