13. There can be a lot of reasons why people don't evacuate.

None of them look good in the rearview mirror. A lot of people have nowhere to go, no way to get there and couldn't fund a night in a motel on a dare. Others, who have lived through hurricanes just don't believe that it will be as bad as people are telling them. And then you got the people who, want to exercise their machismo and look forward to the excitement. I like the ones who claim that they are staying to "protect" their homes. I guess that they plan to run out, grab a latter, and try to stay ahead of the storm ripping off their shingles. When someone says that, look for one of the other excuses behind the claim.

Rational people heed the warnings and act accordingly. Florida has a lot of people who do not reach the definition or rational.
