Showing Original Post only (View all)What would you do if warned about an oncoming hurricane? [View all]
Lots of criticism here that people "asked for it" or "deserve what they got" by not leaving, but seriously, consider what YOU would do under the circumstances. And I honestly don't know what I would do. I live in tornado alley, and we have a well equipped basement to deal with those disasters. But if I had to disrupt my life every time I heard a hurricane was coming in, and most of the time they amounted to much of nothing, well, I just don't know.

Yes. And if it was called "Frankenstorm" and another "Perfect Storm," I'd leave.

As a large livestock farmer, this will never apply. However, for me it would depend on circumstances
