Charley hoarse

Great blogging continues about Hurricane Charley, from Buzz, Amy (about Buzz among others) and especially Tom, who was (and remains) there for the worst of it. From Tom's latest:

I do have a bit of trouble with the blanket characterization of FEMA as gestapo-istic. As far as I can tell from the recent unpleasantness on Florida's Gulf Coast, FEMA appears to be fronted by a species of Federal People who have taken refresher courses in eye-contact avoidance, terminally bland neutrality, feckless ass-coverage and other technical accomplishments, but not in executing open force against citizens.

Good news

Micah Garen has been released.
