Just A Thought
Replies to my last question had me thinking. Why do some people just refuse not to prepare for a horrible hurricane or storm coming their way. They know the results of damage from previous storms. I have neighbors who do nothing. There are still tons of childrens toys in their yards, lawn furniture is still in backyards and nothing on windows. These are nice homes too. Crazy, huh?

Pinellas County where I live would become 2 small islands if a Cat 4 or 5 came ashore just to our north. The county is one of the most densely populated in Florida and offers only 5 real escape routes. 4 of those routes are bridges with US Hwy 19 the only real land route out of the county. On a good day Hwy 19 is bad with normal traffic, I can't even imagine what it would be like during an evacuation.

Not only that....more buildings are going up and the population gets more dense as time goes on. Even though people get wiped out or say they'll leave, someone always takes their place tenfold. I just hope that people are more educated on the weather, especially down there.....it affects us all sooner or later in a big way.
