Just to give an idea of the scope of this thing. Got this off of the storm chaser webboard Storm Track (http://www.stormtrack.org) in the Map Room. (The Map Room is usually offlimits to non-members, but everything has been opened up for the hurricane).
"I just spoke to a college friend who works as a contractor at the FEMA National Processing Service Center (NPSC) in Denton, TX. This call center will be the lead for helping people with aid after this Hurricane has done its damage. FEMA is pulling out all of the stops on this one. They have basically dusted off many of the continuity of government plans that were created for a limited attack of the United States by the former Soviet Union. There will be a massive military presence as soon as the storm is deemed “safe.”
I would suggest all chasers heed directions by anyone that appears to be in authority. The local sheriff does not have time to deal with you, but a 22 year old reservist with an M-16 would probably much rather guard you than throw around 75 pound sand bags."
Interesting post from another board I'm on
