More humor -- Someone got a jump on shirts! I live in Port Charlotte and the only thing left is to grin and bear it. I think that it has made Floridains appreciate each other more. I am surprise and impressed by the kindness people have shown!

Authorities urged more than three million people living in coastal areas to evacuate as Jeanne approached. However there were few indications by late Saturday that millions of Florida residents were heeding that advice. Bob Oldakowski, the mayor of Key Biscayne, Florida, in Miami Dade County, says many Floridians are suffering from hurricane fatigue, and are choosing to wait out the storm at home.
"This is a serious storm, and, I think, the reality of hurricane fatigue is very evident on my island," said Bob Oldakowski. "We are Zone A, so when anything happens, Key Biscayne has to evacuate. This is the fourth time in five weeks, and people are tired. My sense is that people are making decisions based more on fatigue, and less on 'whether this is the right decision for me and my family.'"
