Re: Key West

Well, unfortunately, a lot of people decide not to leave when told to do so. I hate to hear that the death toll could be high, but if people didn't learn from Katrina, than I don't think they will ever learn. So now instead of dealing with a Cat 1, there are a lot of people who will be dealing with a low-to-mid Cat 3. I just hope those people who were partying will have enough sobriety left to deal with what is going to be a very dangerous situation.
I have little sympathy for those who are offered ways out but instead decide to stay and "ride it out", especially after the horrible toll that Katrina left in her wake in AL, MS, and LA.
That may sound cold, but it's the truth.
