People on the east end here still do
It is sad to watch
Honest, Rustic, what didn't you understand about elder and situational issues that went exponential in the eye of the Michael storm? Some of those people didn't have a Chinaman's chance of getting out of there. Elderly people forget to call someone if they're in the middle of doing something else because they have short term deficit disorder memory banks, and forget major things younger people would never do. Remember 9/11/01? There weren't any parties for weeks following that disaster. Most folks just park their political baggage when something this bad happens to their fellow countrymen and women. Tears in our eyes have the same salt, and we taste it in times like this. Human beings often do dumb stuff in times of crisis. Some of them who seem to be dumb are just swallowed up in human illnesses so grievous no one else can possibly understand them. Ever noticed how someone with such autoimmune diseases as fibromyalgia, Altzheimer's, Chron's disease, Multiple sclerosis, Chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis may have a hard time holding a job or thinking in less than foggy terms? That's because most people have never had the experience and assaults on their minds and bodies, and most victims are over 50 to elderly. Others have the same disease and seem to function well. We don't know why that is, we just know that it is. Some people who are young think they are indestructible and are prone to the same issues in a calamity. They weren't born knowing danger is one letter away from being a dagger.
They still do
What are the advantages of staying with a Cat 4 approaching?
One question....do brick or concrete homes also fall like those....when a hurricane hits??
Found some pictures, because I really don't know, except I hear it's pretty expensive to build a house to withstand a cat-5 hurricane.

The brick structures are still standing.....all the rest is gone.
Thank you for the photos!
That may all be true, but in these parts where storms are so unpredictable, the old timers have secured those electric-power devices that can stand up to a week or more of no power, so they can boil tap water or also have stashed a water distiller and the same basins early Americans used before indoor plumbing was around. Some people maintain their First Aid certifications for life by keeping current on their knowledge, and the pictures they take during the blast are often shared to show others how bad it can be even when one is prepared. And some have seen war as a life experience and have the guts to deal with adversity. For their reasons, a lot of people stuck around. Not only that, but even well informed people were not enlightened that the storm had become a cat 4 only minutes before it hit the coast, and they may have been nailing nails to the last few window covers with plywood, unaware of news less than an hour old.
