Will the National Guard need to be called out to Florida?
Hope there are some soldiers left to send.

1. I hope they are already there....
And I hope some are going to be available for GA, SC, and NC also.

Remember Hugo? I do. It was a solid pain in the ass for weeks.

4. That crossed my mind...
.. this could really be a huge problem. We have really overburdened the Guard by sending hundreds of thousands overseas. They are supposed to be our NATION's guard, for times like these. I hope it works out.. this is a terribly frightening day for those in the path of Charley. I hope we have the resources to help them.

11. I'm ashamed to say that was my first thought too!
How many do we have left in the states? Aren't most in Iraq?

6. I saw a few things yesterday

where folks were deeply concerned that they didn't have the people or equipment of the Guard to help during this time.

9. If this is anything like Andrew...
they'll be using regulars from Eglin, Pensacola, Polk and Bragg (what few are still there) to help with the cleanup, too.

12. Can they stay until after the election?


If Katsi Harris and Jeb do ANYTHING like they did before, the National Guard and the UN will need to try to restore order.
