““I can’t do anything,” he said. “Maybe I’ll pray. God will save me.”

Ummm, seems to me I remember the same kind of mindset…oh….sometime back…during Katrina!!!

Steve said
“And if the local residents shutter and batten down their own houses, how will they be damaged by flying debris from unoccupied houses?” EXACTLY!!!

As one who survived the eye of Hugo in ‘89 and 3 of 4 storms that ran thru Florida a few years ago….YOU STAY INSIDE behind boarded up windows…or you get the heck out of Dodge…..dummy!!!

Ummm, Lehigh Acres……………isn’t that where the Obama worshipper, Henrietta Hughes, and her usless son, bought three lots and managed to get 100% funding for the home they built? Perhaps these people should start bitching at Ms. Hughes and her son for not paying their mortgage and running off.

But no worry, Mssrs. Manikchand and Gonzales; Obama will raise his hand and hold back the wind and water.

Maybe if he’d do something positive instead of just standing there scratching his ass, his property would be protected. Or does he even care, being as it was probably my taxes that bought the place for him in the first place?

Having been born and raised in Southeast Florida and spending almost half my life there, if you obtain a home and are unaware of hurricanes, you get what you deserve.

Then again, many of the hurricanes that hit Florida aren’t your usual ‘killer storms’ and cause mostly damage to trees and shrubbery. It all depends on the particular storm.

Whether occupied or not, surrounding homes would receive no more damage than would an occupied home, save windows and possibly doors.

Far more damage would result from flying debris such as limbs from trees and unsecured items outside the occupied homes.

If the storm is strong enough to flatten an unoccupied home, what makes them think boarding up windows will keep an occupied home from also being flattened? In that case, remaining in your home is suicide.

Curiously, that is the muslim way.
