Re: [iPad] OT Hurricane Sandy

 

You're right, Jenny. Rob knows he's left in the dust if he wants to "ride it out" in a disaster. He feels the same way. He'd leave me to save himself and the dogs. I agree wholeheartedly if I were that stupid as to stay.

But it IS hard to 'predict' earthuakes. AFAIK, there is no totally reliable source to predict "The Big One".

Orange Coast College lost one of their teachers first when she retired, then forever because her husband wanted to "Ride it out" with Katrina. They died together in the flood.

I feel sad that many people will put their house and possessions above their own lives. Short of 'Sudden' storms and such where the alarms do not go off in time to get out, if one has a mandatory evac, (Here it is mainly in the case of wildfires) Get. The. Frak. OUT!! 

And... for the record, I don't feel that just because people get paid to be in search & rescue, that anyone should cause them to be in danger of losing their lives as well. Sorry.

I agree Julie. It riles me every major disaster that people don't follow mandatory evacuation. Look what happened with Katrina. Some able bodied people died because they didn't heed the warnings. I know, some had no transport but able bodied people can walk. Rob (hubby) said he would have started out walking and every time a car passed, he'd stick out his thumb. Heck, at least he's would be trying to follow evac.

We live in earthquake country. If we had a major one that called for even suggested evac, we're gone. We've seen what can happen not heeding the warnings.

It would be one thing if those who ignored evac orders were torching only themselves, but they rial the lives of those who have to rescue them as well, plus it costs a lot of money for search and rescue. They ought to have to pay that back it seems to me.

Evac warnings are one thing but when they say "mandatory" there should be citations or something given to people for not following the mandatory evac. I watched perfectly healthy, able bodied people being rescued after a mandatory evac was issued in NYC.

> I would surmise one reason is the "wolf syndrome". Governments often play it safe and issue evacuation warnings for events that never turn serious or deadly for these neighborhoods. After awhile, People tend to discount such warnings
