I don't expect the gov. to come to my aide. I can take care of things here. I live on a nice hill so there will be no flooding. If the house goes, if we survive then we hit the hotel and contact USAA.
There are reasons why I don't live on the coast or live in tornado alley. The same reasons why I don't reside in Cal., with the earthquakes or states with volcanoes.
Now, I would not mind living in the Outer Banks. I would be prepared and if a major storm was coming.........then I would get the hell out of Dodge. Common sense.
Katrina, the smart ones left. I have friends, college edumacated who decided to stay. The second day when the water was pushing them to their second floor, they decided to load up one of there bayou boats and hit the water. He, his wife, some important things and his (loaded) shotgun.
He later told me that they should have listened and left when it was suggested.
