11. frightening to see how accurate reports are |
|
intensification has us all concerned.....we know we've lost a lot of wetlands...we have to remember even if cat. 3 , 6 lives lost in florida...with fema, housing red cross, low interest loans, all kinds of federal assistance, ask for patience, things will not happen instantaneously, want to relieve frustration, media has been terrific,

13. not time to be independent minded...telling nightmare story |

lots of independent minded people in LA, we know low lying areas will have extensive flooding, lots of unknowns, be safe not sorry, oil industry is critical, 30% of resources to nation, higher prices of gasoline and oil, lots of service disruption, refineries have to shut down
