Tampa Bay area officials, still mopping up from four days of torrential rains last week, worried that Florida's central Gulf Coast communities were especially vulnerable to Gilbert.
The ground remained waterlogged, said Bob Anderson, Sarasota County's deputy director of

More evacuation orders were likely this morning, even if the storm's path remains uncertain.
"You cannot evacuate people at night and you can't evacuate people when the winds and rain have already started," said police LT. B.D. Spradil, of Port Arthur, Texas.
"we understood it was $60,000 and a match (from the chancellor)." Whippe said. "We kept being told that in meetings. But apparently it was $60,000 with (including) the match."
SHENK
Thus, the drawings had to be adjusted to fit the $60,000 budget. The library meeting, the shower and locker portions were deleted from the plan.

"That's when we started the mad scramble." Whipple said. "We tried to keep the book in there but could only get it down to around $80,000."
First, Modig said funding for the project did not come through proper administrative channels, at least not in the beginning.
Planning for capital improvements usually cannot begin until a written request for funding has been received and signed by seven University officials.
Modig said the miscommunication could have been caused by several factors.
The last signature for approval of the Shenk project did not come until June 26, 1987, four months after the set of plans were started.
"We figured funding was coming from the chancellor, so we went ahead with it," Modig said.
Staff (turnover in facilities planning was another possible reason for the miscommunication and project delay. Media said.
Modig said the office had 11 of 16 full-time employees change since July 1987.
"You just can't have two-thirds of a staff change and get all of the projects done." he said.
Facilities operations has not set a completion date for the project.

Scholarship halls being planned despite short waiting list
By Jeremy Kohn
Kansan staff writer
Despite the decreased number of students waiting to live in scholarship halls this fall, the University of Oklahoma has become a center for the arts.
Deb Stafford, assistant director of residential programming, said that the 15 men and 40 women now on scholarship hall waiting lists would not fill the planned halls.
"If they decide to build those scholarship halls, we will recruit to fill those halls." Stafford said.

Fred McElhenie, director of residential programs, said fall scholarship hall waiting lists in 1984, 1985 and 1996 each had about 100 women and 35 men. Each hall houses about 50 students.
Stafford said the fall 1987 waiting list was similar to this year's.
Campaign Kansas funds of $3 million would be used to pay for the halls, according to information from the Kansas University Endowment Association. The decision to build will be made near or after the $150 million fund-
James Scaley, assistant to the chancellor, said enough students would fill the new halls because of the halls' unique, communal living experience. The small waiting room was one of student interest in scholarship hall living, he said.
Megan Crawford, chairman of the scholarship halls' public relations committee, said it was possible to recruit 100 students from the community.
Scally said he thought that if more slots were available, more students would be interested in living in scholarship
McEhennie said the number of students living in University housing had declined this fall, possibly as a result of enrollment management. Freshmen are the largest group to use University housing.
Jim Stinson, assistant director of admissions, said the University had imposed higher grade point average requirements for out-of-state freshmen and earlier application deadlines.
