Is there a reason that you are posting thia in comp.misc?  There is nothing 
on topic here.

Everyone here in the projected path made their decisions and took the 
appropriate actions.  Those in evacuation zones did prepare and go elsewhere.  
Your included quote is beyond stupid, in my opinion.  If it applied to anyone 
it is certainly not true of the millions here that made their decisions and 
took precautions.
