"Morgans" wrote his 1st response: Let's see I have 4 or 5 days notice. I have to spend most of one day standing in line getting enough plywood to cover the house to try to protect that major investment..that by the way the entire family benefits from. I don't buy it. You would only have to move the plane 60 miles or so. There is time in there to move "that" major investment, also. Morgans responds the second time: "John" wrote Finally, you never can be sure if by moving you are not going from bad to worse. I have friends in South Florida who didn't leave when Andrew approached. They could go North or South (though not too far). When I asked (in quite colorful language) why they didn't bug out, they replied there was uncertainty where exactly the storm would strike, forecast information was confusing, and they didn't know until it was too late which way to run. You board up the house, move the stuff in it onto the top of cabinets, or boards on top of ladders; you get the picture. one person takes the car and bugs out early with the stuff that has to be moved. You wait with the plane, and the others that want to go with you until the track is pretty certain, then bug out in the plane. You beat all of the last minute freeway traffic that way, also. Right, life and family is most important. If I am ever in similar situations, I'll sure make every attempt to make it out with the plane. -- Jim in NC Ok. This guy is just insensitive or just a moron. Possibly both. Almost certainly he has never been faced with the situations described. Or perhaps he (she?) is a super human. Or perhaps s/he just thinks so. Either way, into the ignore file goes he. or her. whatever. Harvey written by generator light after Wilma. |
