Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Wednesday that Charley's 145 mph wind could have destroyed even more homes if not for the stronger building codes enacted after Hurricane Andrew 12 years ago over the objection of some contractors, who said they were too costly.
The state count did not immediately include the carbon monoxide death, confirmed Wednesday by Lee County officials, of a man running a gasoline-powered generator in a shed attached to his home since losing power in the storm.

 Double vision - The Boston Globe
Thornton and then-girlfriend Laura Dern star as Claude and Ruby, a white-trash Arkansas couple whose mutual insane jealousy is just par for the course in their hugely dysfunctional extended family.
Thornton's story darts from place to place, only sketchily establishing characters at some points, but giving them flashes of Coen Brothers-style absurdist grandiloquence at others.
Dern, meanwhile, was funnier playing a redneck in "Citizen Ruth." Intentionally or not, she and Thornton are at their best in the film's last 20 minutes or so, when their running screaming match turns unexpectedly, quietly tender.

Then they would be turned right-side-out, and carefully brushed, at which time they were ready to sell.

But this Leiber-Stoller song achieved initial fame when Thornton recorded her seminal version for Don Robey’s Peacock Records in 1952.
Backed by the Johnny Otis Band, Thornton’s rough voice was the perfect vehicle to admonish her man. Her tough, Blues mama persona was tied to the tradition of Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Memphis Minnie.
