These people have no idea what is about to hit them. This is going to be total destruction in dozens of small towns. Damage will be unreal.

People are still not believing it is going to be "that" bad.

I went to bed and watched more reports and ended up having to get up and pace again. I just can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing. I even heard earlier today that some folks on those barrier islands didn't leave either. Can that be?! I know they've been warned in past hurricanes only to end up getting missed. But still....that doesn't mean a big one will never hit, as is evident right now.

I feel bad for those that decided to stay and worry for their safety, but I worry even more for those who wanted to leave but couldn't. If they are so poor they can't afford to leave, then what sort of housing must they be living in? We can put a man on the moon, but we can't relocate 100,000 people before a major hurricane hits?

God help them all.
