I was irritated at the question posed by UR OPINION regarding Hurricane Francis. Although I am not a Florida resident, I feel sympathy for the families and inhabitants of the state. Everyone knows the damage that a hurricane can cause to an area and I think making mild humor out of such a devastating disaster, can strike up a lot of feelings, especially for the students who have families and homes in Florida.
