the hurricane

An coworker was in Flordia for the week. He flew out of Orlando yesterday. He said all flights were canceled on tuesday, and on wednesday the airlines brought in tons more planes to get everybody out. Nice to hear the airlines aren't completely inept.

He got back to Milwaukee to discover that someone had siphoned the gas out of his tank at the airport.
