Weather reports indicate that Hurricane Wilma is tracking to make landfall on the west coast of Florida on Saturday. And, it does not bode well that this hurricane has already churned up the record as the strongest hurricane ever formed in the Americas.
But Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has given the U.S. residents in Wilma’s path more than adequate assurances that FEMA is poised to ensure that there will be no repeat of their Katrina disorganization and neglect.
Unfortunately, without resources so readily available to Americans, my family and friends in the Caribbean and Mexico stand at the mercy of Mother Nature as every hurricane passes by. And, thus far, Wilma has flooded many of our homes in Jamaica, the Turks and Caicos and Cayman Islands; killed 11 people in Haiti by landslides; and forced mass evacuations in Cuba and Mexico (as they now cower and await their fate).
Therefore, our prayers are with the truly helpless as they weather this hurricane…
Tracking Wilma…
