So which coast would you have stationed the trucks on? The East or West
coast of Florida?

Many of the trucks that were heading here needed to be diverted to the
East coast, and the middle of the state (Clewiston, etc). Of course,
although we were hit harder than the east coast, we prepared better for
it.



You were better prepared for it? I guess we could have cut down every
tree, removed every pool enclosure, fence, mailbox, traffic sign,
billboard...


We had heavy machinery clearing the roads the same day that Wilma hit.

And our long lines at the gas station were on Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday *before* Wilma hit...when people smartly prepared by fueling up in
advance.

We also stocked up on water and food, so we didn't have the ridiculously
long lines at the "free" handout stations just one day after the storm.

That's what I meant by "better prepared".
