As a West Coast pilot, can anyone explain to me why people don't move
their aircraft out of the way of these storms? I'd call in sick and
miss a day of work before I risked by 30K+ investment.

OK, I fly my 30K 1959 C-172 to safety, what happens to my 40K SUV
and the 35K boat? The auto is a lot easier to relocate, more of a
necessity after the storm and the insurance company is going to
replace any loss anyway.
