More bitching about lack of hurricane preparedness

The local press is reporting that the hotels in Cancun were built to resist Category 2 hurricanes. During the watch for Hurricane Ivan, which was category 5 at the time, they did not evacuate the hotels. Those tourists have doubtless since gone home since, not knowing that the city put their lives in jeopardy.

Today Hurricane Jeanne is preparing to hit Florida. They are saying Floridians should prepare for 3 weeks with no power. It makes me wonder how long we'll go without power when we're hit.
