Florida begins long, costly cleanup after Wilma - Hurricane Wilma - MSNBC.com

Florida begins long, costly cleanup after Wilma - Hurricane Wilma - MSNBC.com: "“I wasn’t prepared for anything. I never thought it would be this bad,” said Virginia Davila, 29, as she waited at the stadium."

You have got to be kidding! People! Listen to the hurricane forecasters, they are pretty good at what they do. Anyone who says they weren't prepared should have to stand at the back of the line for supplies. I guess 5 or 6 days of warning just isn't enough for some people.

Have you seen the reporters in the middle of the hurricane? Sure they want to cover it. But where is the logic for physically placing yourself on a beach as a hurricane hits? What are they thinking? "Hey maybe no one's done this before." It's the same exact backdrop every time. If it weren't for the graphics, you could take any hurricane footage from the last 20 years and you wouldn't be able to tell which hurricane it was from. Is it more believable to see a guy squinting through the rain holding a microphone getting his raincoat blown away for you to actually say, "Yep, it's real." I don't know about you, but if some weather person sitting in a comfy studio showed me a satellite map of a giant gray spiral covering Florida, that's all the evidence I need. Yes, I believe you already. There IS a hurricane out there!
