I’ve decided that knowing a hurricane is coming and choosing to stay there instead of going somewhere safe and out of the hurricane’s path is a DUMB THING TO DO. Those newscasters that stand out there all for the sake of having a story did a pretty dumb thing too. How could risking your life for that be worthwhile?

Last night we got some of the “after-effects” of Hurricane Ike which prompted my beliefs about this…50-60 mph winds, lots of trees down, missed the Steelers game thanks to our power going out…It was kind of scary – people with trees fallen on their homes like shown below and we slept in our basement worried a tree would fall on ours. And we are no where near where the Hurricane hit!

So while I genuinely feel bad that these kind of storms destroy people’s homes and everything else, I can’t help but think these people are nuts for staying somewhere when it is a KNOWN FACT hurricanes are dangerous. It is sad to see so many people lose everything and even their lives for something that could be somewhat preventable.

Anyways, everybody…if you are lucky enough to know that a natural disaster or potentially dangerous weather conditions are coming your way, please don’t be dumb! Get to somewhere that is safe! Your life is more important than anything else! They send out weather advisory warnings for a very good reason!
