Soledad O'brien: Good Morning America! Soledad O'brien here flying solo. Miles is in Florida braving Hurricaine Wilma with Anderson Cooper. Lets go live to Everglade City... Miles?
Miles: Good Morning America! Im here with Anderson Cooper and I am simply in awe of the power of this hurricaine. After making landfall this morning as a Category 3, Wilma is now packing winds of over 100 miles per hour...
Anderson: Wow!
Soledad: There are reports that many of the residents did not evacuate.
Miles: That's right! Many underestimated the intensity of the storm. If we just pan the camera over, you can see the strength of the wind, there are white caps right on the hotel pool.
Anderson: Im simply amazed!! Ive never seen anything like this in all my life!!!
Miles: The wind is howling so loudly, I cant hear a thing Anderson is saying!
Anderson: Wow!
Miles: There is actually sand from the nearby beach on the 3rd floor deck of the hotel.
Anderson: Just amazing!
Soledad: There are reports that 300, 000 have lost power throughout the state...
Anderson: My god...
Soledad: and hundreds have lost cable...
Anderson: Oh, dear god! Where is FEMA?!?
Soledad: Reports have indicated FEMA, the National Guard and local authorities are riding out the storm and ready to roll... but, lets let Governor Bush explain, we have him via satellite...
Jeb: Good Morning America! I just want everyone to know we have everything under control. We have coordinated with the federal govt and have ice and water ready to be transported as soon as the storm clears. We just ask everyone to remain in their homes until further notice...
Soledad: Governor Bush... we've heard that there has been unprecedented coordination of relief efforts in response to Wilma. This is a stark difference from the response in the Gulf Coast...
Jeb: Well. I cant take credit for the President's work. He's right here with me, I will let him answer.
George: Hello?
Soledad: Mr. President?
George: I am the President last time I checked, heh, heh...
Soledad: Mr. President, I wasnt aware you were in Florida with the Governor...
George: Florida? Hell no, were in Crawford. A little family get together...
Soledad: I , err, see.. Mr. President, I asked Governor Bush about the unprecedented coordination compared to Katrina...
George: Fool me once, heh, heh... Ya know, we werent going to let the people of Florida suffer, we have allocated 38,000 National Guardsman, the Army Corps of Engineers and Ive just signed a check for emergency funding of $500 billion to the state of Florida for the recovery efforts. Ive also authorized increasing the credit lines for FEMA personnel from the lowered rate of $25,000 back to the Katrina level of $250,000. Last thing we need are delays...
Soledad: But, Mr. President, we are now hearing that although the storm was more powerful than anticipated, the damage will not be significant.
George: Its the unseen damage we are preparing for... God willing, we will bring sunshine back to the sunshine state. The people will be under great stress after the storm, they need our help.
Soledad: ... and the preparedness?
George: As you know, Chekoff has taken a "personal" (both hands held up and moving 2 fingers of each hand up and down) initiative on natural disasters since Brownie resigned. Chekoff wanted to make sure we didnt repeat any of Brownie's miscalculations.
Miles: The wind is picking up again... A satelite dish is beginning to shimmy on the residence next to us.
Anderson: Oh my god! Is there no end to this wrath?!
Soledad: Is that bicyclists on the road behind you?
Miles: Yes, and as you can see the wind is so powerful its blown the hat right off the rear cyclists head.
Anderson: I dont know if I should say "wow" or "my god"...
Soledad: Mr. President? Mr. President... We've lost the President...
Anderson: My god! The President is lost? What will we do...
Soledad: We are on a hard break and will need to check in with Miles and Anderson after the rest of the news ... this is Soledad O'brien from Good Morning America!
