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, MSNBCs 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 didnt 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 Katies remarks how strength in numbers would protect her family from a Category Four hurricane.

Hopefully, she already holds her Maker!
A zombie would not eat that brain!
We don’t know her shelter or circumstance.
BTW “Mandatory” only applies to non-property owners.
Voted for Hilleray?
There is psychological strength in numbers. Sadly, the hurricane doesn’t care about that.
She should have said ...”It’s still safer than working late at Joe Scarborough’s office”.
I hope it does. I feel bad for residents in the path of hurricanes. That said, they should get out of its path for survivals sake.
According to Holly-weird, Madison Avenue, and gov-co, those aren’t very important.
I’m thinking the same thing. All these people whipping themselves and others into hysteria are going to be “disappointed”. That said, to me, this is just the storm that wipes out the outer banks every other year...like clockwork!
These people will die and the media will go on for days that Trump didn’t save them from themselves. Just like Katrina and Andrew.
Cat 5 is hype
Maps show cat 3 now at landing
A well designed and constructed home should fair well if not right on the ocean
Of course, she will likely have no electricity or even water in the aftermath. The probability is high that if she has vinyl siding it might sucked off the leeward side.
What a shame. Cute kids, idiot “mother”.
Darwin Award.....................
If I lived in a wood shack on the beach, I'd evacuate. If I lived in an elevated, concrete structure, had food and water stores, I'd stay.
Where is the father? Fathers?
Surely someone in that family has some sense.
Or is this abortion after the fact.
The kids in that pic look a tad worried.
I'm guessing she voted for Hillary
The government made sure he’s not able to be in their lives, however he still gets to pay.
