I wish the survivors of Hurricane Charley the best of luck.
I have been through several hurricanes and they all provide a horrible living environment after the fact so Please hang in there.

It will work out in the end.

The federal government may not be able to help.
They could not and did not help after Hurricane Andrew, so do not expect them (Federal government) to help the survivors of Hurricane Charley.

To the Cops iin Florida: DO NOT make the situation worse by harming the locals. That will kick you in the ass in the long run.
If the cops can't be trusted then its time to break out the weapons and protect your own property.

Peace to the survivors of Charley.
