Unprotected from what, exactly? Do you believe that your stay-behind neighbors or some opportunistic outsiders will loot your home? Do you believe that your presence will make any smidgen of difference in the amount of property damage your home suffers? Not too smart.
I know of 2 people who will not evacuate their Wilmington NC homes.
We when through Andrew and it missed us up in Ft Lauderdale. My friends in Cutler Ridge survived but their home didn’t.
I understand this woman’s position. After Fredrick in 1979, we went 2 weeks without power. We were 30 miles from the Gulf. It was surely the most miserable time of my life.
Perhaps she thinks staying in a shelter several days is worse that staying on the barrier island. She is in for a rude awakening, if they survive.
Look at a map. She lives within 10 blocks of the ocean. She has water on 2 sides. She is ~10 miles from the nearest bridge to the mainland. She is directly in the path of the storm. The storm surge, perdicted at 18 feet, will get them if the wind doesn’t.
Even if they survive the storm, no one will be able to help them for at least 24 hours. Roads will be impassable, water, sewer, & power will be out for weeks. Their car will be flooded. They will be stuck in place for days, at best. Cooking will be limited to a charcoal grill or a camp stove, yet all food will need to be cooked thoroughly. Perishables will be rotten in a couple of days. Mosquitoes will swarm. Four people will need over 500 gallons of clean water to last a week. There will be broken glass, boards & shingles with nails in them, & many other hazards.
I wouldn’t try this as an adult. I certainly wouldn’t risk 3 children’s lives.
“Suicide in numbers”
"It's just wind and rain. Hurricanes down here are like snowstorms in NY."
Maybe he was joking, or he voted for Hillary.
I watched the video, and this family does not live on the island, they live in Wilmington.
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.
...
An outright lie. They live in Wilmington.
This woman and her children will be statistics by Sunday.
During Katrina my neighbor across the street refused to evacuate with his wife and 5-year old. Eventually the mother took the kid and left, he wouldn’t budge. After he was found dead on a pile of trash in his home.
Florence. The short form of that is Flo. Flo is the spokesperson for Progressive Insurance. Therefore, progressives are complicit in the hurricane.
