Gov. Jeb Bush: "Our Worst Fears Have Come True"

No, this isn't about Jeb's realization that his brother is running for a second term as president. (Ahem)

The retirement community of Punta Gorda was hit very hard by Charley, a Category 4 hurricane, and the dead haven't even begun to be counted yet. Unfortunately, the storm hit differently than where it was expected, so that after nearly a million were asked to evacuate Tampa, people taking refuge at home elsewhere were struck instead.

In some good news, Florida being a swing state, under the president's brother's control, it's likely relief will come about as quickly as possible in a bureaucratic mess such as our government offers. But some two million throughout the state may be without power for days, and Charley set to work its way up along the coast.
