So let me start out by saying this.... As far as I have heard there were plenty of busses and free transportation out of the path of this hurricane. Things were orderly and hundreds of thousands of people moved out of the way of the hurricane....
Now let's talk about those 20,000 folks that refused to heed the warning and stayed in Texas in the path of IKE.
Weather forcasters, government officials the media all made sure that the seriousness of the situation was told to all. Warnings included putting your name and SS# on your forearm so your body could be identified. Weather forcasters told of water and a storm surge that had never been seen in that area... It was on TV, Radio, the Internet days before it happenned...
After the hurricane has come and gone I keep reading these stories of the coast guard, police and fire that are going door to door checking on the people that CHOSE! to ride it out....
I was thinking that we should send a bill to every person that had to be rescued or we had to spend 1$ on that stayed...
Those folks because they just couldnt believe that it was going to be that bad are now putting a tole on the emergency responders...
Send em a bill I say.......
What do you guys think? If you have a different opinion let me hear it. I made my decision based off the information I have, you may have something more than I do that would sway me to change my mind.
