A good friend of mine was a Navy Sea Bee in Gulfport during Camille (decorated for saving 19 people). Told me some dummies chained themselves to a bridge so they could watch the hurricane come in.
Camille washed a bunch of people out of a third story apartment during their "huricane party". Needless to say, the dummies on the bridge were 20 to 30 feet underwater "watching" the huricane arrive.
I'm speechless. How stupid can people get? Darwin award winners, all.
