They are about to experience forces of nature few people have the chance to. I don't understand what would prevent them from leaving, but I hope there is some chance they make it out alive.

Picture for reference

There will be nothing to pick up because it won’t be there

That’s pretty selfish. Somebody is going to have to risk their life going in there to save them when the shite hits the fan.

Tell those folks to write their SS number on their arm with a sharpie and tell them they are in their own.

Probably won't be 40 of them left Monday morning. Not smart.

This beast looks like it has a hard on for Grand Isle. I couldn’t imagine staying there and being face to face with a probable Cat 5.

Lord watch over these people.

What would be the purpose of staying?

Property protection from looters?

They had to stay with their deep freezer full of shrimp.

It’s the equivalent of hanging out on a sandbar as a tsunami rolls in. Accompanied by 150 mph winds.

You haven’t ever stayed through a Cat 4/5 that made an almost direct landfall. Grand Isle is right at the point of max surge on the eastern side of the eye.

There's not going to be anything left to cling to. Hopefully they'll find their bodies at some point, to give their families closure. There's a strong possibility that they don't find any of them.

Hearing the stories of my friends and coworkers that stayed behind in Katrina made me a believer. You can't beat the storm.

Some billionaire should create survival pods with live video and audio for people to pay for the opportunity to ride one of these big storms out. Gotta be a better PPV event than a Jake Paul bout.
