<p>I don&#8217;t need to reprise the Hurricane Katrina-George W. Bush story. Worse for South Florida was Hurricane Wilma, which in the final week of October 2005  knocked out power for several million Floridians and was a Category 3 storm. I was one of the four people in Miami-Dade County who never lost power, but the rest of the week remained a nightmare, saved only by the sudden welcome arrival of a cold front; for the first time in the modern era, sleeping with the windows open in South Florida proved delicious. </p>
<p>Teering between Category 2 and 3 status, Harvey looks terrifying in satelite images. The tight eye wall, the compactness – I&#8217;m getting Andrew flashbacks. Add a Gulf of Mexico as warm as bathwater (believe me, I was in it three weeks ago), calm air thousands of miles above the surface of the storm, and a leisurely speed (10 mph!). <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article169277412.html#storylink=cpy">Tremble</a>: </p>
<blockquote><p>University of Miami senior hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy said Harvey combines the worst attributes of nasty recent Texas storms: The devastating storm surge of Hurricane Ike in 2008; the winds of Category 4 Hurricane Brett in 1999 and days upon days of heavy rain of Tropical Storm Allison in 2001.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s a relief.</p>
<p>And as with the aftermath of Andrew and Katrina I&#8217;m frightened for Texans, the majority of whom voted for Donald Trump, and what awaits them when they look to the federal government for help and find <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/144497/heres-hurricane-harvey-scary-unprecedented">crickets chirping in abandoned rooms</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The irony here is that while Trump urges residents in the path of the storm to prepare themselves, he has failed to follow his own advice. He is greeting this storm without key administrators in place. This could very likely be the first major natural disaster of Trump’s presidency, and with agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, NOAA, and NASA still without leaders more than seven months into the presidency, the least he could do is offer some reassurance that he is moving quickly to fill those positions. As former American Meteorological Society president Marshall Shepherd wrote for Forbes in April, there is a “strong working relationship between the weather community and emergency managers” during disasters. And while Trump’s FEMA administrator has extensive experience in emergency management and the other agencies have interim chiefs, “strong and decisive leadership is always vital when our nation faces tragedies,” Shepherd wrote.</p></blockquote>
<p>But we are dealing with a president, Cabinet, and sub Cabinet officers for whom &#8220;community&#8221; is a meaningless buzzword. </p>
