[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My close childhood friend is just north of Miami, living maybe a mile from the beach. She texted me yesterday saying how screwed they are (she has kids)—so I offered her my family’s place in the western Carolinas. Nope, she is refusing to leave. She has a generator and a window AC unit and plans to “hunker down and watch my Fox News.”

She is beyond dumb. [/quote]

She is not beyond dumb.  Getting on the highway to drive a 1,600 mile round trip when they don't yet know when and where this storm will have impact would be beyond dumb.  Beyond the drive, it will be difficult to get back, and the stress and anxiety of travel, not knowing the condition of their home, staying in unfamiliar surroundings, etc., can really take its toll.  Making prudent preparations and following the guidance of officials in their area is a perfectly reasonable plan.[/quote]

+1 and for all we know the carolinas are also going to get hit

people who aren't in hurricane-prone areas seem to think there's a magical "evacuate now!" button that just seamlessly gets you wherever you want to go[/quote]
