[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we the tax payers have some game in how much of our money funds stupid people who have to live in places where they really shouldn't.

And to that PP who talks about their ILS not being bothered by the hurricanes..  it's a matter of time before they will be.  It's 100% a risk living by the coast.  It's a scientific truth. It's called arrogance to ignore it.[/quote]

I am that PP.  I really wanted them to evacuate when they expanded the mandatory evacuation zone to include their house (usually they are too far to be included in the mandatory evacuation zone).  If they ran into trouble, they would be putting rescuers into harms' way to come to them.  But they evaluated their risk, made their decision, and they were not wrong.  That is what everyone does, in every situation, whether it's hurricanes or storm surge, mudslides, wildfires, flash flooding, tornadoes, fault zones, etc.  You evaluate your risk, make your decision.  It will either turn out to be a good one, or it won't.  [/quote]

I think some (or is it one repeat poster?) people on here absolutely hate Florida and all Floridians and just loves to bash. I don't know a single person who is "arrogant" about hurricanes and isn't getting prepared. We're barely in the cone and still have our supplies, got our sandbags. Everyone is getting ready, gearing up for the worst and praying for the best. Evacuations in Florida are highly complicated: in this case we can only go north. That can take over a day of travel with gas uncertainty for some, is very hard with pets as well, and even more complicated for low income people. [b]All the evacuation zones are evacuating.[/b] After that, it's a case by case basis.[/quote]

The PP literally just said that their ILs lived in an evacuation zone but are not evacuating.  I have little sympathy for people who are capable of evacuating but don't follow the orders.  TBH, those who *can't* evacuate for XYZ reasons need to seriously consider moving further inland.  I'd fully support government funded relocation services to help needy people move to safer areas.[/quote]
