If I were in the position of some of these people who stayed, *I* probably would have stayed. It's all nice and good that people are wanting to evacuate me, but how the hell will I get back? If I had the means to get out in the first place (meaning that I had a car/transportation and some money), I wouldn't have to worry about coming back. If I didn't have the money or the means to get out (which are a lot of the people who stayed), I probably would be wondering how long I would be left to rot where ever they decided to evacuate me to before they would bring me back home. Are they even going to bring me back home?
Finally! It is so refreshing to finally read a shared opinion. I had decided I was going to stop commenting on my feelings about the "before and after" evacuations because I seemed to be on an island by myself. Thank you for sharing my world!
