WILMA!!! YABBA DABBA DO…
Wilma was at one point the ( and I quote the BBC here) the most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic.
But it seemed to come and go with little loss of life, at least when you compare it to the legacy of Katrina… Now straining hard against the chains of cynicism, I’m sure it was because Florida was lucky, built above sea level, or not surrounded by other water sources, but the thoughts ‘no large poor black population’, ‘governed by a certain Jeb Bush’ or (and I quote again) the fact that ‘President George W Bush signed an order declaring Florida a major disaster area and releasing federal money’
Maybe he learnt his lesson, but kinda figuring that he is a bit of a fuckwit that still struggles to learn his alphabet, maybe the family involvement, and that Florida is a desired retirement location for lots of well to do white Americans, oh, and don’t forget the tourism…
No, I’m far too cynical… I must have been God’s will to protect the area…(bleah….)
