Hurricanes

Living here in Jacksonville is a bit different than ole Baton Rouge. BR's last serious 'cane was Andrew in 1992. Here, we've had effects from three so far - a tornado from Bonnie, rain for a day (and some wind) from Charley, and Frances has seriously knocked Jax on its collective butt. 22,000 people were without power over the weekend, 16,000 still live in the dark today.

And yet, we still put on a national show to kick off the NFL football season.

Wonder what the city will do after the Mad Russian comes?
