Hurricane Jeanne is looking more and more like a Central Florida landfall come late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. Somewhere between Vero Beach/Brevard County or a bit further south in Pt.St.Lucie. Evacuations begin in Brevard County at 6 am.

It is so sad how the poor people in Haiti are suffering from this hurricaneHeaven forbid if Jeanne actually was a hurricane when it hit (it was still a tropical storm). It truly would have been catastrophic.

Haiti's deforestation is almost complete, they burn all wood for cooking, so when it rains at the mountain tops it drains all the way down and fast, so far the death toll,last I heard was 100 and rising. My friend who works for me has not heard from his family all week.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up the feelings of just about all my family and friends who live in Florida.

I wish the people of Haiti would try to help themselves more than they do.I know what you mean, but its tough when the country's largest industry is making charcoal.

Mandatory evac?
I talked with one of my sons last night in the Cocoa Beach are - which is now in the "eyeball path" of Killer Jeanne. They fled to Atlanta to escape Frances - but they don't know what to do this time as they still haven't restored gasoline supplies. There is NO Where to get gas to go anywhere!
He works on the Shuttle program and says the VAB building on the base still has acres - no exaggeration, it's the biggest such building in the world - of exterior walls still gone, open to the weather. 'Jeanne could be devastating as many simply have no way to get out of the way this time.
Prayers are needed.

Sadly the vast majority of storm aid for Haiti comes from the U.S and having been hit so very hard so many times this year I know folks aren't as concerned about the plight of these poor souls in Haiti.
I live in Port St. Lucie and am about to get hit for the second time in just a few weeks. 14 hours of hurricane fron the 1st anf 4 hours of the eye. The damage around here is vast but I can't comprehend what the Island is like currently.

Make that 1,100 and rising.

Despite billions upon billions of dollars worth of aid given by the rest of the world and for what? Haiti is lost.

Wonderful.... oh well, at least ISABELLE and GASTON knocked down most of the old dying trees around here in Tidewater. And Frances and Charley wiped out central Florida. As I told my dad AFTER Charley, but before Frances, that the trees were already down so they didn't have to worry about anything more like that falling on their house. Jeanne = more of the same. Florida will take 20+ years to recover. The orange and grapefruit groves are a mess in the Belt.

Several days ago someone on FR predicted that Jeanne would switch course and hit Florida and got blasted for the prediction. Good call whoever you were. I wish you were eating crow, though. I have relatives there who have lost most everything they had worked for.
