It was a Mandatory Evacuation

Tweet

I was reading an article earlier about tropical storm Lee earlier that really ticked me off. There was a mandatory evacuation for a couple towns but no one left. The locals did not care nor think the storm would be bad enough to put them in any danger. And they were still putting up sand bags around homes just in case. So what if its only a tropical storm, no one though katrina would kill that many people. I was one of the first to see damage done by katrina and let me tell you that news made it look like a picnic in the park. I was asked if I was a reporter because no one was allowed to take pictures. I have blocked almost every image out of my mind of that day. But even with what was shown on the news, people still don't leave. Parents put their children in serious danger by staying. It's like they just don't care and it kills me to have seen the carnage a hurricane can do and people still don't have enough sense to just leave. What are your opinions?
