Florida being punished for allowing BUsh in office, more evacuations
|
Florida Governor Jeb Bush ordered yet another state of emergency as Hurricane Jeanne menaces the state with 100-mile-per-hour winds.
Voluntary evacuations have been ordered for coastal residents in Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Counties -- the same area where Hurricane Frances caused billions of dollars in damage. Many of the same residents had to evacuate for Hurricane Frances just three weeks ago.
Mandatory evacuations will begin tomorrow.
Forecasters say Jeanne is expected to make landfall Sunday, but the forecast track is very tricky because of a predicted turn to the north about the time the system is to make landfall.
