In glitzy hotel zones, tourists continued to splash around in cavernous swimming pools under skies that were mostly sunny, with intermittent bouts of rain.

But on the outskirts where service industry employees live in poverty - officials were bracing for heavy winds and driving downpours that could spark flash flooding.

It is amazing to me how these hurricanes keep hitting only the poor. Is it the large swimming pools that repel the storms or just sheer glitzyness that drive them away?

If you ever go down there, take the time to travel over the hill to the west of town. Hidden away where tourists can't see are the homes of the less fortunate and the folks that work in service jobs. It's no joke. In town the buildings are built of concrete and are very stable. Not so in the outskirts. That being said, I don't think anyone is going to get hit hard at all this time. They will probably have some parts of the highway wash out.

Yupper. I noticed that in a heartbeat. Bush ahtes the poverty-stricken of all stripes. And when CA fires burn down mansions in Malibu, Bush hates wealthy folks too. Bush hates everyone. There is a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to kill every creature on the planet. Just you wait and see.
