so, obviously, this won't hurt him either... right???

Plus he claims to have no place to go... sure thing... $150 in gas and motel 6 some 250 miles away would be a possibility, no?

Sorry, my meter is really running high today... I simply can't understand people that stay in the path of what would be in Kansas (where I grew up) a 20 mile wide F3 tornado.

oh well, I hope his wife and family are fine...

But I also remember this bit of common sense comedy

they are powerful enough to withstand a hurricane. We'll hear about them soon enough. While it's difficult to leave your home, it's far more difficult to lose someone you love because you stayed. Too many people do not think things through, it seems.

Me? I'd be staying in a motel in Texas right now, if I lived on the Florida Panhandle. I'd have left three days ago, before the traffic became horrible. I'm not brave that way.

Bathrooms? Birth by the side of the road?

Not a lot of easy choices.

always talk to the idiots? He was so proud of his self-sufficiency. Despite living in a trailer with a 9months pregnant wife! Hope that trailer stays upright and no more trees fall on his trailer. A tRump voter, I'm sure!

gas and lodging isn't free.

Just talking to my daughter who used to live down that way. She said she knows a lot of people down there who don't have the money to evacuate.
