Charley Cover-up,,50,000 Dead?

I hate Bush as much as the next guy but I see nothing wrong with him going down to survey the damage. Every president that I can recall in the past has done similar things. I probably would have been more concerned if he didn't show up.

As usual, the president wouldnt miss such an opportunity for votes. What a sorry nation of fools we are.

There is nothing at all wrong with it. Every president does it. its called being presidential. The Dems would have found fault if he had not gone either.

Florida would have to have been obliterated for 50,000 to be dead and a coverup would be impossible.

Horrendous loss of life in third-world countries due to typhoons happens because of the absolute lack of urban planning, drainage, construction, storm warning, and evacuation procedures. People in those countries live in shanties along unregulated rivers and the storm simply flattens their buildings and then drowns them. All American cities are far safer.

You guys are still at this?

As far as the strength of a hurricane, I know the difference also. I have studied weather as a hobby since a child, since i live in a place where we get everything from snow to tornados and the sun shines 300 days of the year. I was trying to show that wether 4 or 5, there will be catastrophic damage. This is not the time to be petty on who knows what.

The casualties would have come from the fact that people would have ridden out the storm. I grew up here, not in Iowa or Europe or Indiana, but Florida. We were VERY lucky. I personally know at least 15 people who stayed behind in evac zones on the Gulf Coast. ON the coast mind you. THey bought cases of beer, and planned to BBQ during the eye passing over. Hurricanes to the St. Pete/ Tampa area is like the boy who cried wolf. So many close calls in the last 30 years, and again I emphasize, we got very,very lucky.

and every president visits a disaster area you "Micheal Morons". If he wouldn't have come you would have said he was not sensitive to the 'common man'.

Please go to www.tbo.com and make a donation so maybe some of these poor people who are STILL alive and are homeless (over 10,000 still reported) or without electric can get a hot meal.

Yep, zero chance of 50,000 being dead from that hurricane. Even some of the most destructive hurricanes in the USA today don't come CLOSE to reaching that death total. If we see a death toll of 200+ on anything less than a category 5 hurricane on the east coast, it will be a surprise, much less FIFTY THOUSAND. For starters, many people evacuate when hurricanes are coming. Secondly, outside of people in weak homes (such as mobile homes), there are usually very few deaths related to hurricanes nowadays. Most come from 'being in the wrong spot at the wrong time' type of incidents.

I can believe that a 100+ died . You are forgetting that some of the parts this hurricane crossed are orange groves and anyone who lives down here knows that there are huts and mobile homes set up near these orange groves that have migrant workers in them. Need I remind you it is nothing to drive by these trailers and see one trailer with 20 + ppl living in it. How many of those ppl died and will go unaccounted for??

Today, the American Red Cross has estimated that 12,019 homes were destroyed. This does not include 19,095 homes that have major damage and are uninhabitable in their present state of repair. 32,755 homes have minor damage and can be lived in while repairs are made, and 20,218 have damage such as missing shingles. At least 5,661 homes were still inaccessible as of their report and it was unknown what damage they may have.

Heh, I'm in south Florida right now waiting for Hurricane Frances to make it's move. Hurricanes really aren't a biggie anymore, although everyone treats it as if though it were the end of the world. Everyone here in Miami is going CRAZY, especially for gas and water and other materials needed if worst comes to worst. Also, you can't forget that force has an exponential relationship with speed.
