I wonder what kind of animals she can’t take with her? If you live on an island, and you have animals, and there are likely to ever be hurricanes, you darn well owe it to them to be able to evacuate them. Of course, since she has kids, if you have to choose, you choose the kids and you get the heck out (and this is from an ardent dog lover—I might risk my own life for my animals, but I won’t risk my kids lives!)

Same here. I think she's just one of those dim people who dismiss the warnings until her own eyes tell her how bad it's getting--and by then it's too late to get her animals out, if they're horses or something.
