We were in a mandatory evac zone for Lily and Rita ... if you told them you were staying and not evacing, they took your personal info and said "good luck" cause they weren't coming if it wasn't safe to do so. You KNEW it was at your own risk.

Incredible pic, I remember that one. How that single house stayed up is a mystery.
My cousin's house in bay st louis, ms. was washed away in Katrina. They were a house or two off the gulf highway road. I went to check out the devastation and the only thing left was the slab and one bathtub. Connected to the bathtub was a couple of foot little section of tile wall (the wall was gone but the tile was still upright) including the indented soap dish thing and the frickin bar of soap was still there. Unreal.

Can they really force you to leave? I always figured by mandatory evac, it meant that if you stay there will be no emergency response available during the storm.
I dont know if they can force you to leave, but IIRC they can arrest you for being out in an a mandatory evacuation area... youre on your own at that point.

That was a direct result of people watching NO flood after Katrina. 85% of the people that chose to leave were never in any danger of being flooded.
exactly, we still had people living in the dome. 1/4th of my high school from katrina. It was on all our minds

I gotcha. I guess the option of choosing no emergency services works. Because some people will be dumb enough to stay.

Well as long as if the jail is above sea level.

So much this. At the point where everyone else decides that playing "Humans vs. Nature" isn't fun anymore, maybe it's time for you to fold your hand too.

This just brings back Hurricane Ike memories. Ugh.
That's another one that blew up in the middle of the night right before landfall. Really worried about warm water over the shelf and a storm that's supposed to creep ashore.

Warm, deep water is a bigger concern than shallow, deep water.

I was gonna say they have it coming back out into the Gulf now

I forgot who it was, but I remember who ever it was ended up hanging a banner on the side of the house for months.
