Hurricane Sandy

It's probably better to lock the thread at this point. I'm even getting aggrevated...

There are certain areas that are told to leave / evacuate / get out / be gone / cya, get it? only certain areas that are in the most danger. Everyone else was told to stay home, don't go outside. Now to the people that were told to stay home and to not go outside and still ended up dying how is that their fault? Yes, everyone in all of the states effected by Sandy should of took a trip to other states untill Sandy passed by, makes sense.

What do you know? A heavy majority of the deaths were due to drowning, which would be in the areas told to evacuate or had a high probability of flooding, trees falling on people outside in areas where people were told to stay inside, and carbon monoxide poisoning with idiots who'd run a generator in their entirely closed up home.

Living on the NJ coast, I honestly didn't think it would be this bad. We were hit by hurricane Irene last year and it was suppose to be a monster storm like Sandy but it really didn't do much. So many people were all in the same mindset "oh it won't be anything just like Irene.." Yes, a lot of people were forced to evacuate but never did. That is their own fault for sure. But there were many places that were not told to evacuate that were absolutely decimated. My aunt lost a house, my uncle lost a house, my moms lagoon house and my uncles lagoon house were both flooded. Something to keep in mind is that New Jersey doesn't regularly get hit with hurricanes. The storm was actually WORSE than predicted. Yes, many people did die from their own mistakes and I guess it's easy to sit there and make asinine remarks when you're 3,000 miles west enjoying 70-80 degree weather. One thing for sure next Hurricane, hopefully in another 20 years.... People will understand and respect what previously happened and take the proper precaution.

I don't know, maybe I just have a different perspective because I've seen waves from a storm several thousands of miles away crashing on top of piers and shit like that. of course it's easy to look back and say i definitely would have left, but i don't know, it just seems dumb to risk your life even if you end up leaving the area for a few days once a year when a hurricane comes through. it's not like new jersey is such a great place that you would never want to leave it and take a trip to chicago or st louis or something.
