You are nothing but an impedment to hurricane awareness. Do you even care about Wilma and Katrina victims? I'm sorry, but you should be banned. Good-bye!

You are getting off topic here. Katrina's destruction was due to surge. If I lived in the northern Gulf I would evacuate for any major hurricane, but I live in Florida, where surge isn't an issue unless you are on a barrier island. Wilma had fatalities, yes. Thats unfortunate. But most of that happened to people who didn't bother to follow safety rules or shutter up. I choose to ride out a Cat 5 because I believe there is a low risk to my safety.

What difference does that make? The risks are not any less in Florida where you live, just different. Also, only the most bunker-proof structures really "survived" Andrew.

Actually, I think Palm Beach and Broward counties did have many brief periods of sustained winds around 100MPH. However, I guess you now reveal your true colors. All you want is gore, death, destruction, and andrenaline. Serves you right. See you at your funeral... or not.

Good luck surviving that. Just because Wilma wasn't scary doesn't mean all hurricanes her strength will be the same. All hurricanes are different. And you should always be prepared for the worst, not expecting the best.

We're not trying to be fearful of hurricanes, but instead be aware that they can kill.

Ok, this is from Charley, and according to his way, since it was a four at landfall, then winds were only at Cat 3, i think this photo speaks for itself, credits Jesse Bass:

Yes, but statistically you probably are more likely to get killed by a looter than by the hurricane itself.

Excellent post. Also, while Wilma may not have been scary to a select few, it was scary to many others. Also, I know we should panic in an absolute extreme way when it comes to hurricanes, but we must have a huge respect, wise and sharp and good awareness that they can truly kill, and a very slight dose of some very slight fear, though not much.

If your structure gets Cat 4 or 5 sustained winds(it is highly unlikely it will happen), shutters won't help you. I am now fearful of Cat 4's and 5's and will evacuate if they come. I can't believe the strength of Cat 1 winds, and it goes up exponentially.

Lol, I guess I have changed

. Perhaps the whole moment of the situation.

even a tropical storm can kill you meaning it isnt scary doesnt mean it isnt dangerous

What difference does it make? Also, looters are a byproduct of diasters such as hurricanes so, in reality, when you get killed by a looter you are really killed by the storm.

And yet you stayed outside during most of Wilma? How does that seperate you from those who didn't "follow the safety rules"? Being outside in a hurricane isn't exactly safe.

Do you live with your parents? How do they feel about you risking your life?

I agree. From his attitude, you would think he dosn't even HAVE parents.
