Some of it (maybe a lot) is just an extension of politics. I have no doubt there are certain people in this thread who wouldn't care if hundreds of Floridians die from this. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re told to leave and warned for days about the storm and refuse, that’s on you. And if they assumed EMS can come get them now, that’s a hella rude awakening for them too. Those surge maps showed maybe 90% of Cape Coral underwater up to 9 feet. With 200k people there, if even 10% decided to stay, yikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I'd be moving right back to Cape Coral. Now that the big one hit, there's a good chance you won't see another one in that area in our lifetimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueshot104 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I'm a weenie like the rest of you. That being said, if you're really claiming that everyone deserves what they have coming, it's well documented that evacuation is hugely impacted by income inequality: https://par.nsf.gov/servlets/purl/10204514 In short, there are a lot of poor people who either don't have relatives to stay with, the financial means to up end and move (I mean, a hotel room is a huge chunk of salary for some, etc). Sure, if you're well off and chose to stay, sorry pal. But for a lot, it just isn't an option or at the least, a very hard and grey decision to make. All that to be said, holy moly this is one hell of a storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 FT Myers is screwed for the back half of the storm too. All that is westerly wind coming into the bay. The images that’ll come in from there tomorrow/after will be horrendous, probably Katrina like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
