[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in an area where natural disasters were frequent enough that they didn't scare people like they do to people who aren't used to them. So I'm definitely familiar with that "eh it'll be fine" mentality (not that I agree with it) [/quote]
I’m not debating evacuating or not, but her phrasing is ridiculous. If it turned S last time and avoided her, who is to say this one won’t also turn S and hit her directly?[/quote]

Because the phrasing doesn't matter. She doesn't want to evacuate. So she'll tell herself whatever she needs to to justify it. Logic isn't part of it (not really).[/quote]
I hope it works out for her! [/quote]

It will 98 times out of 100.[/quote]

Yup. She will almost certainly be fine and is making a rational decision. Is it fair to play those odds when you have 4 kids to think about? That's another conversation.[/quote]

What would you have liked her to do instead? And please be more specific than simply "evacuate" - [b]where should she have evacuated? And when? [/b][/quote]

She is in Pinellas County. Pinellas has an extensive network of shelter and many ways they communicate with residents about these things-they are experts in this! There is no way she CAN'T know.

In my county, I've been seeing info about evacuations/shelters since SUNDAY.[/quote]
