Police Chief Randy Smith said an unknown number of people had ignored mandatory evacuation orders.
"We are not sure how many people we have," Smith said. "We will check them one-by-one."
Smith said he did his best to convince residents to climb aboard his high-riding Mack truck, but authorities believe about six people are riding out the storm.
``We asked them to write their Social Security number on their arm for us,'' Smith said.
One of those who planned to stay behind was 47-year-old Bobby Taylor.
``It's dangerous, but it's mother nature. There are good parts about it. It's beautfiful. The water doesn't frighten me,'' Taylor said as waves rolled over his lawn. He said he could walk or kayak out if necessary. ``It's just water, man.''
David Fields, a carpenter who lives a few doors down, also said he was staying.
``This is my home,'' Fields said. |
