Very true. Have a friend riding it out. Very smart, very liberal, and makes more than I do. They just don't want to leave and think they are properly prepared. They just respond this isn't their first rodeo.

I guess it's a little like Kansas and tornadoes. One was coming down my road and I am out there taking pictures. You kind of getting use to them and can very easily underestimate their power.
