Rain and winds don't bother us that much, we are in a valley but still about 400 feet above sea level. However we did have a truck that flipped and was carrying a hazard's chemical (name of it was almost twice as long as my last name). We had to do an evac real quick and what a pain in the butt. Other than people wanting to know all about the accident etc. these were some of the problems.
1. Illness, someone on bed ridden didn't want to leave the warm confines of their bed and "Besides, I'm on oxygen."
2. Paranoia:
A. I'm not going to leave my drugs.
B. I'm not going to leave my guns.
C. I'm not going to leave all my expensive stuff.
3. Didn't believe a truck tipping over a mile away was a real threat the them.
4. Over the edge Christians, if it's my time, it's my time.
5. Really old, "I was born in this house and I'll die in this house.
6. Crooks. If everyone else is leaving, I have a great chance to rip others off.

Everyone knows that FLA. and the southeast Coast get hit with hurricanes, but out of no where a "haz mat" emergency is very difficult.

Stay healthy,
Andy
