ok i know this may sound sorta blunt, but if ur gonna be hit by a hurricane then by all means, GET THE HECK OUTA THERE!!!!!!! i do feel compassion towards those lost in katrina and those who lost their homes. but theirs no need for more to die. hope u stay safe angelk16 and that your area doesnt end up being hit.

Well keep in mind EVERYONE was trying to get out, which meant NO ONE got out.

Plus, most of the people were dirt poor, most didn't own a car and those who did couldn't afford gas.

true, but then you get the people who said, yeah we heard one was coming, but we decided not to go. or even worse, the people who are in their really flooded homes because their too stubborn to leave. im just talkin about the people who stayed on their own will even though they knew the danger. the people who couldnt, thats a different story.

Because they have too much of an ego and they think they can ride it out.

They need to learn that mother nature is insuperable.

well they should take their live into perspective, drop their pride, and stop worrying about their materialistic stuff.

Yeah that is what i think too but people think pride is worth more than their lives.
