we get a lot of hurricanes every year. People get immune to the threat. Now, most hurricanes are not a threat like this one. Most only effect one region or city.
Most fizzle out after landfall. We get storms almost every day in the summer that have 35-50mph winds. Now, those only last for about 15 minutes not days.
I left because they were predicting a 10ft. Surge and my house is 8.5 feet above the water. If the forecast was like it ended up, I’d probably not left my house. And I’d been fine.
