not to step on the other post to me there are only two classes of people who stay when told to leave.

Old pharts like me who want to protect their property and looters.

Looking at the picture of the two being helped on Fox news makes me think that those two could be of the latter choice.

What good is your property if you�re dead? Take the most valuable stuff with you when you leave. Insurance will take care of the rest.

I�ve got insurance, I could use to upgrade some stuff.. come get it hurricane. Lol

There are a lot of other types that "stay when told to leave". For instance, we were not released to evacuate by our Base Commander until it was too late to safely evacuate. Those that tried to evacuate at that time had to ride out the storm while on the highway. We stayed in our rental and got to experience the eye of a cat 3 hurricane. Would never want to go through that again, we were lucky. All our trees blew down onto our neighbors houses. We had water up to within 2 inches of coming in the front door.

I will admit that I probably have a different attitude to this topic. I lost my house from Rita in 2005, I took what was valuable to me, but I am alive to &%!*?. So any that is able can find away to be ok to rebuild. I know people lost things, but why are so protective over materials items from a storm. We leave the house one time or another, thieves can steal then; or we just that material oriented that I got to safe the wedding ring after or during the 75+ winds,rainfall ?? inches. Are you now in a position to secure the home or are you finding a way to live now after it passes. There is limited water, limited utilities,fuel, and not the best conditions.I do not mind Helping the people that need to be helped or the one make a sure there is a home to come home too. I have done that as firefighter for 17 years. but the help those that use a Hurricane, wildfire, disaster to party or come back in to steal. This as always made me question why I help them. I have lost friends over the years assisting those that there for a for a Hurricane party, loot, or come back to search for the cell phone. You ask to leave for your own good; not to hamper the daily issues of living. Mother nature is already doing that.

And the looting begins. https://www.facebook.com/BotType2/videos...TIxMTMwMjMzOTI/

Look at the ages on the ones that have died....90% of them are olds, or were.....

Greatness

Isn't that special.
