State of Emergency
September 5th, 2008 by Mike VasilindaFlorida remains under a state of emergency in the face of Hurricane Ike. The state operations center is operating at peak levels with the potential of a category four storm hitting the state next week. Governor Charlie Crist says everyone needs to have a plan.
But shouldn’t panic.
“Ike is the fourth storm we have faced in less than a month; and we are still in the peak of what could become one of our most active tropical storm seasons. As I said yesterday that’s a lot coming at us but we must remain vigilant, focused, and calm”,
Says Crist.
The Governor will meet with 5 mayors in South Florida on Saturday to review their plans, then travel to Orlando to inspect a giant warehouse filled with water and other relief supplies.
