Whether or not this hurricane hits shore in Florida, we're going to have storm surges in the coastal areas. We're going to have high winds, hurricane force winds in some cases. People should not be complacent about this.

I cannot emphasize enough to the folks that live in the Florida Keys a hurricane is coming, and a hurricane is a hurricane and it has deadly force winds,

While we essentially hurry up and wait for Hurricane Wilma, Florida should take advantage of the slow pace and use this time to stock up on supplies and prepare.

This storm is a volatile storm, ... We don't really know where it's going to go, and so the entire peninsula needs to keep an eye to the south and east of us. We'll probably have a better idea by the middle of the week.

Many lives have been affected by this hurricane, and I know you join me in sending our payers to those people looking for solace and help.

We are staging across -- some outside the state and some inside the state -- a massive response for this storm, and we're going to need it, ... There's going to be a lot of work necessary to make sure that the response is massive and immediate to help people once this storm comes.
