That's fine, I'm originally from Florida and I've never NOT lived in an area that was affected by TS/hurricanes, so I'm not a stranger to them. As a matter of fact next month I'm moving back to Florida again and am just fine with storms.

That being said, if you're willing to ignore the professionals and want to try to ride it out and get screwed for your decision, DON'T BLAME SOCIETY. That's my only issue and I look forward to shaking my head at the failure of our country when people expect everyone to bend over backwards to help the folks who only stayed for the free support.
