Reply #10: During the 80s and 90s I lived on the Outer Banks in North Carolina [View All]

There was more than once that we were told to leave because of a Hurricane that would hit us.

I was one of those idiots that decided I would hang around and watch the storm from my home.
We would stock up on beer and ice and just party on through the festivities.
Had we become victims of the storm, could I have blamed the president of the united states, or anyone else for that matter for my bad judgement?

being older, I now realize that if it were the same situation, I would get out, I would drive, or throw my thumb in the air, or walk,, but I would leave.

And as far as government help goes, it was always more than a few days before you saw any real assistance. The insurance companies were always the first outsiders to arrive to help.
