I think a lot of people seemed to ignore the warnings to evacuate thinking it won't be so bad, yet it seems it's going to be worse than forecast

There used to be a lad in our old pub quiz team who was a bit of a Gareth from The Office, he claimed that his being in the territorials meant he could light a fire in any weather conditions. Well, I'd like to see him try in that weather.

What I find crazy is the people who not only ignore the warnings to evacuate, which is one thing, but have no plan, take minimal if any precautions.

It's America, 'trust in the lord' is probably their plan.

Also apparently NBC etc have told all their crews to leave the area and just left some cameras, but Sky had people right in the middle of it lol

A few Darwin awards being awarded tonight.

If you are going to be out in it like some of these storm chaser types live streaming would be much better to have vehicles adapted for it :s

23 people missing after a boat sank off the coast already. Going to be a big death toll this one.

It's like a lot of things, people don't believe it until it happens to them.
