re: Williams dealt with emergency response issues as a state representative in Washington when his district was forced to deal with the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. "If the plan were implemented, lives would have been saved," Williams said. Man, he had weeks to deal with Mount St. Helens, and a volcano is stationary, not unpredictable like a hurricane. When a hurricane is threatening, 80% is pretty damn good. I know we've never had that level of compliance in this area. I doubt any area of Florida has ever had 80% compliance to a mandatory evacuation. John
