Acting FEMA Director David Paulison had a press conference where he stated that FEMA was ready for Hurricane Wilma because Florida is ready. People and supplies are in place to roll when and where they are needed.
FEMA has at least 300 trucks of ice, water, and food ready. Eight military helicopters are ready for medical mergencies.
Sounds like FEMA is ready. And you know that there won't be the problems that occurred in New Orleans such as FEMA refusing help from the Red Cross. It's most likely already worked out anyway - because Governor Jeb won't stand for that mess.
Several Florida counties are already under tornado watches and warnings. A tornado was spotted by eyewitnesses and by Doppler radar south of Zolfo Springs in Hardee County. That put Manatee, Hillsborough, Polk, and Hardee Counties on watch. Warnings are in effect for Sarasota, Okeechobee, and Oscelo counties as I write this. A tornado has been spotted in Okeechobee County.
Schools, of course, have been cancelled in South Florida counties. Will probably resume Tuesday.
