This quote has been weighing on my mind since Friday given the level of destruction from this Category 2 hurricane. Please don't think I'm picking on you, BabyPink, but I fear it's this kind of nonchalance that led people to stay on Galveston Island and parts of Houston even though they were warned that they could face death by staying. I've only heard them warn people to this extent twice.. Katrina and Ike.. and both hurricanes had massive levels of destruction in highly populated areas. I do hope that if you're ever faced with this (and I surely hope you aren't) that you don't try to ride it out. It's just not worth it.
