MSNBC spoke to a North Carolina resident on Wednesday who said that she was not obeying a mandatory hurricane evacuation because there is “strength in numbers.”
Just hours before Hurricane Florence is set to strike the Carolinas, MSNBC’s Kerry Sanders spoke to a woman named Katie who lives in Carolina Beach, North Carolina with her three children.
Katie explained that she was refusing to evacuate and instead was planning to “just try to stay safe during the hurricane.”
“I think we are going to do everything normally,” she said.
“Why the decision to stay and not fall back further inland?” Sanders asked.
“From my experience, getting back into town after the storms is very difficult,” the Carolina Beach resident insisted. “Knowing that our family and friends and our home are all here, we didn’t want to leave them unprotected for a prolonged amount of time. We are going to try to stay put.”
“We have several neighbors saying put,” she added. “We feel there is strength in numbers. We checked in with one another. We are going band together and make it through.”
It was not immediately clear from Katie’s remarks how “strength in numbers” would protect her family from a Category Four hurricane.

Hey! “Numbers are our Strength.”
"Tornadoes" was the response.
Stupid is as stupid does....
These little kids have no choice....
....they are at the mercy of their mother
perhaps ALL of msnbc's viewers will come and gather with her as a show of their solidarity
Yeah when did Americans decide to so easily succumb to orders?
So you tell Mom what to do and they fall under your mercy?
Not to wise.
Semantics!.......
Anybody check to see if Kerry Sanders is a Registered Democrat?
Not too wise to leave your little kids vulnerable to drowning
Now maybe just maybe the woman has a sealed, waterproof bomb shelter under her home
I would never do what she is doing anymore than I would sail around the world for a year with 3 small children as one couple decided to do————but I sure as hell don’t want some bureaucrat telling me what to do with my children.

BTW, if anybody knows of people coming over as far as Charlotte, the Motor Speedway has opened their campground.
It’s in Concord and has all the facilities for glamping.
Both are irrelevant nowadays it seems.
I’ve been through 120 mph winds. Could hear the roof shingles being blown off. I wouldn’t do it again if I can help it. It’s always best to be safe than sorry even if the storm happens to shift away.
Shut up. I’m that airman that cleaned up after Elana hit Gulfport. Your just somebody that likes to tell people what to do.
Home, loading his shotguns. Looking forward to the chance to shoot him some looters.
Get the kids out of there. It is that simple.
Of course you do.
