Against a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane! The stupid is strong with this one.
Indeed. I live in the Houston area, and I don't evacuate. It is nearly impossible to evacuate millions of people from this area. However, the people down here who live in the coastal areas should always evacuate, even if it is just into Houston with friends or relatives. The news will probably be filled with the search and rescue story of this family who isn't leaving.
Thirteen years since Katrina and you still can’t fix stupid.
There is psychological strength in numbers. Sadly, the hurricane doesn’t care about that.
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.
I'm guessing she voted for Hillary
Well, at least where she is is (normally) above sea level, unlike much of NOLA, so Spock might only say she’s being illogical rather than highly illogical (which is Vulcan for calling someone a “dumbass”).
Give her a waterproof magic marker so she can put her SS# on her arm or forehead. She should be held accountable if she endangers her children.
Why? I have stayed put during a category 4 hurricane and survived just fine. A little prep-work, some extra supplies, basic survival skills and helpful neighbors can make the experience ... tolerable.
If your house is of modern construction, don’t live in a floodplain, don’t live in the storm surge area, your house is not threatened by falling trees, you have enough food and water for 30 days and have a working generator with fuel supplies, you are most likely going to be just fine. Board up the windows, store some water, make sure the chain saw works, sandbag the entrances where water might get in.... basic stuff.
Conversely, if any of those exceptions DO apply to you, best to bug out. But make sure that you take identification, extra money, extra clothes and important papers. Still board up and lock the house. Put the valuables away, etc. Evacuation can be EXTREMELY stressful. Bugging out if you don’t have a place of safety to go to or don’t know what to bring with you, can often be a bad idea.
Media hype aside, we (Americans) have survived hurricanes for many many years.
perhaps ALL of msnbc's viewers will come and gather with her as a show of their solidarity
Is she also one of the people who says Trump is ‘complicit’ in the hurricane?
