Ah, more BS. Of COURSE the widely circulated illustration was tendentious and exaggerated to the point of lying. Duh. You are right that the storm tracks are - even at highest intensity - tens of miles wide. Poor St. Lucie County got whacked bad. A Gore state. So?
I don't claim God is smiting FLA. THAT is for junk head nut jobs like the jerks who said NYC was gettin its just desserts. But still, it is really tasty and eerie. FACT. The main area... MAIN areas... to vote democratic in 2000 were the population centers areound Dade county and BY ANY MEASURE they were by far the least affected by these FOUR storms. Live with it. --- "John D.
