sleves promising more supplies.

3. But Jebthro assured the state and nation they were ready.
Can't wait to see if he insults his "fellow" Floridians.

8. It's not an election year
And Jeb's term limited out, so he couldn't give a shit. Besides, Southeast Florida is full of Democrats.

10. WFLA Tampa - local clear channel quoting state & local authorities
saying its the individuals fault for not hoarding supplies before the storm that they are short of fresh water, ice and gasoline now.

3 days ago the Governor was asking people not to horde gasoline or panic.

11. I knew that would happen
Let's blame the people again. Let's see there is no power. How long do you think ice is going to last?? All of us lost power around 7am on Monday. That's now 2 1/2 days.

As far as water: I have no water, so we are using our bottled water to take a shower. Hair feels good, though.
