there are IDIOTS who are remaining in south florida, who have been told to evacuate

[TheMinimalist]

seen 'em on CNN tv last night whilst watching the news. can't seem to find the video posted anywhere. but it's madness tbh.

there was a guy on a boat yesterday, said he wasn't leaving.

and this morning, there was a couple that was interviewed. the wife was pretty good looking btw. but seriously. why are they not evacuating?

after that segment, the CNN anchor interviewed an expert, who was pleading to viewers in south florida, to not listen to the previous segment, and to evacuate if they are told to do so.

i don't understand why some people are like this misc. why are they doing this?




edit: (another miscer found the video, and posted it in the main irma chat. here it is.)

at work i spoke to someone in that area. she said theres not enough gas around to get out in time.

[DeshaunWatson]

There's no gas.

They think they are more hardcore, and can handle mother nature at her worst. They won't regret it until it's to late. They are probably laughing at everybody freaking out over a little storm lol

People have no sense of self preservation nowadays. People will die.

The no gas excuse is also retarded as they should have had plenty of time to get supplies. You snooze you lose.

You also probably have a lot of people planning on looting during the storm.

[Atem69]

A lot of people are simply incapable of planning ahead so they couldn't beat the traffic or couldn't get any gas because gas stations can't keep up with demand

And others refuse to believe the hurricane will be all that serious, they just think it's overhyped

And others just don't really care what happens to them let's be real tea

[aragon416]

theres some poster on another forum who said hes not leaving because its not easy leaving the state, he already bought groceries and batteries and that since he paid for his house, he isn't leaving it

[keyrat786]

Are you from south Florida? If not:

[Dan_S]

There are quite a few in the Hurricane Irma thread.

[BobTheJanit0r]

They have no where to go. They don't want to stay in a shelter.

[keanhe]

Tampa got a mandatory evacuation and no thx Jeff, got a full tank of gas, food, water, supplies etc.

My family has lived in south Florida for a long time, and for the most part you are safe as long as you don't live really close to the beach or have a house made out of particle board. My dad is staying and he lives near Vero Beach, and I'm staying in Florida as well (farther north though). The danger is really overblown by the media, if you have a any amount of common sense and some normal supplies (water), you'll be fine.

I've been through many hurricanes in Florida, the worst part is picking up all the tree limbs and **** from your yard when it is over.

yeah, the media thinks Miami = Houston, New orleans

Miami is prepared for flooding, with vast draining systems and a big network of canals all throughout miami that feed water into the atlantic......... houston wasn't ready.

[441Forty]

Florida is not Houston; many homes are Category 5 rated and are solid af

Also, Florida doesn't really flood. The soil there just soaks it up. Flooding and overflowing or broken levees are where the danger is at

Not downplaying hurricanes, but Floridians have been dealing with them for centuries and after Andrew they're prepared

^^ South Florida checking in, not in an evac zone tho. Houses here are built to handle this, anything built after Andrew is windproof.

If you live near the coast there's flooding. We don't but still went to my in-laws even further inland just to be safe.

Honestly the weather channel etc overhype it bc it's like their Superbowl. So it's super deadly and dangerous, but you'll let your star anchors run around in it broadcasting? Got it.

If you watch the local news the coverage is more sensible. Be ready and have a plan.

[sillydawg]

mind ur own business, u watch cnn but no one is calling u out

[Griggz]

Do you people think the hurricane is going to rip a single story or two story brick house out of the ground or something? lmfao bunch of idiots ITT for calling people who board up their windows of their brick home idiots.


You're gonna lose power for a number of days, guess what? They have a generator. Stores won't be open, guess what? They have weeks worth of food and beer. While everyone is rubbing their sweaty body against each other at the shelter these guys will be having a party at their home during the hurricane.

not that simple..what if you have an emergency...brb bleeding to death because you can't get to a hospital


the buildings might be designed to withstand hurricanes but you can't account for all the different debris and **** that is going to be flying around

[blackflgst]

yes. those in ZONE A (wherever that is)

South Tampa/Soho/Macdill AFB area

Those areas flood every summer hurricane or not

Soho bars are still operating as usual as well lulz

I grew up in South LA. Biggest concern is a tree falling on your house or flooding. If they don't live in a flood zone and there are no huge trees near their home they'll be fine.
