If that happens it would be the worst scenario for floridians as that state would have to deal with an invasion.

I heard about this on the news last night. They said any boats arriving in Florida will be turned away and sent back immediately. I still remember 20-some odd years ago when AIDS was first in the news. They kept mentioning the 4-H's - homosexuals, hemophiliacs, heroin addicts, and Haitians - were at highest risk. "Boat people" I guess that term is going to be in the news again now. I'm going to start having flashbacks to my preppy years. :o

I have a friend who's in the Coast Guard and stationed in Florida...hopefully he can help curtail the masses.

And here in Puerto Rico the coast guard is watching just in case many of them go east instead of west.
