As Hurricane Milton approaches many cities were largely deserted but some people decided to shelter in place
Most left when they were told to. But some chose to stay, even though officials warned Hurricane Milton would turn their homes into coffins.
Along Florida’s Gulf coast, where millions of people were urged to get out of harm’s way, cities were largely deserted on Wednesday afternoon as time ran out to evacuate. Those who remained were advised to shelter in place as best they could. Others who fled spoke of their dread at what, if anything, they would return to once the storm had passed.
…
William Tokajer, police chief of Holmes Beach, told islanders who planned to stay to write their names, dates of birth and social security numbers on their limbs with Sharpies to help identify their bodies after the storm.
last I heard they where told to shelter in place and there was no way to evacuate everyone in the path from the time it went from cat 1 to cat 5 but lets all pretend it was their choice and point and laugh.
They have been told to leave for days.
Shhhhh, we can’t let facts get in the way of their imagination based pearl clutching.
When do you think they found out a hurricane was coming?
Source?
The voices in their head.
Are you saying there weren’t resources to evacuate everyone?
Last I heard you write comments starting ‘last I heard’ to pretend that you heard something devastatingly interesting had happened when it, factually, did not, and that you do this in order to pretend to have something beneficial to say when, factually, you do not.
