I guess people like to die and lose their homes...

I find it interesting that many do not want to take this storm seriously. I mean... Even if it slows down, as long as it remains near the coastline, the flooding from the storm surge alone can wipe out a town, homes, and kill people. The traffic jams, and running out of gas alone, killed dozens in Houston, TX when Ike hit, because they were stranded in the heat, and ran out of water. Residents waited until the last minute to prepare. Sadly... America never learns. We just allow ourselves to be in harms way, then hurt later when we have lost everything, and/or friends and loved ones. Even those who prepare still suffer loss, but sometimes less than others, and sometimes not... It just depends. Anyway... Regardless. I guess to each his/her own. I feel like calling the weather channel and tell them that Florida does not care, so don't bother posting any updates about the storm. To them... It is no big deal, and they will just take their chances.
