No offense taken. However, if I'm in the direct path of a hurricane bouncing between a category 3 and 4, and have been warned that I might expect rain on a biblical scale, live in a low level area, and even heard the mention of the word evacuate, assuming I have the means and ability too, I'm going to safer ground. I remember as a kid, when we lived in Houston, circa '69, people were getting stoned, drunk and whatever, and bragging about having a "hurricane" party. Many of those people died.

I'm a meat cutter & I have to say Monday proved once again just how stupid people really are. The run on fresh meat always makes me laugh. Seeing people take meat out of others shopping kart shows just how low people can go. The meat department including lunchmeat & frozen meat would of been totally wiped out if the power didn't fail. Even better was the looks on folks faces when they were told because of the power being out it was cash only! Having cash on hand is just about as important as having anything.
The people who are new to it that ask what they need are always surprised when I say "You do have a gun & ammo"! I came tru it missing some work which is fine by me. I stalled out my truck Satuday moring trying to get to work & finally got it running again.
Right now the weather is pretty enjoyable. After Ike with no power for damn near 2 months of heat & humidity sucked very hard.Out through the night and the whispering breezes

God only knows how long that entire region is going to be without power, in many places. I know I'm seeing power/utility trucks from all around our region heading south, I suppose to help out. This is really going to be a mess for a long time, I suppose, and I really feel for those folks.

Hurricane Ike was the worse for me because of the loss of power for so long. Tropical Storm Allison took the wifes car out of the picture for a while. TS Allison dumped almost as much rain on the area.
I feel very lucky as I know people who are now homeless. One guy I know seen a picture of his truck roofs & house from an artical from The Daily Mail UK
Not sure what his wife does for income but he is self employeed with a pool service. They waded out with the clothes on their backs & their pets.Out through the night and the whispering breezes

My buddy is a Houston cop and he sent me some pics. He's in the cowboy hat. He's a big outdoorsman so he was well prepared

The DSCA planning the last few days for IRMA has been insane. In the past 36 hours, we've gone from needing to support 3 missions, to 4 missions, to 5 missions, to 4 missions...nope, just 3 missions....to back to the original 4 missions.
Even more frustrating when you know you're going to be allowed to go and provide support yourself.
