And yeah a lot of people will be watching the weather channel. When you have storms like that that are threatening areas with tens of millions of people you tend to want to know if you need to run or not. We've gotten an evac order 3 out of the last 4 years, including for this storm. Pretty much the entire coast from Miami through North Carolina was ordered to evac. I was glued to the weather channel at that point to decide if I was going to try and fight the traffic or if maybe I would risk staying put. Stayed put this time, glad I did. Stayed just outside of the bad part of the storm.
We have our own natural disasters to worry about here. Still don’t know anyone who watches The Weather Channel. Do yanks really get their evac information from it? Jesus Christ, your country really is a mess.
