It's funny that those of you who haven't been through them are the ones criticizing those who have and who now refuse to leave. I was in Arcadia for Charley losing trees, roof, and stepping out into an alien world after it passed. I was in Bradenton for Frances without power for a week, and I fled to Tennessee for Ivan where 4 trees fell right outside the house from the high winds (go figure). My parents' home on Abaco was destroyed, and has just been struck again. I am SICK to death of running from them. My child has missed more school than he can afford. I'm completely out of money from spending thousands more than my normal budget on damage repairs, evacuations, etc.
So before you point fingers at the decisions made by people who have now been through three "nasties", try to consider that they might have litttle choice at this point. -Bev >> Hurricane Magnet <<
Oh, Dear Bev, you've really been through it. I'm sorry my location didn't tell you more about me. I've lived in Fla, but, more importantly, I went through Super-typhoon Paka. Evacuation isn't an option on Guam. I know how you feel. Hugs to you. I know you're doing the best you can. Be safe. lilyv
