Watching interviews with storm survivors...they are shell shocked. I will never get why some people insist on riding it out. It's like a death wish. Now I wonder,as more and more and stronger storms batter the red state south, if they will figure it out.
Much of the south is more economical, so some probably wind up there without a serious decision to go there.
The thing is, there's always a reason when an area is more affordable: It's less in demand for a reason: It's less safe.
Plus, it feels like home to you. The southern culture is a way of life. But you need to have the emergency resources, or you're putting yourself at risk.
I'd be leaving every time a storm threatened: I have nothing to prove.
I was referring to the fact that they keep voting for climate change denying republicans.
That is something I have questioned too.
But I think that there are many different reasons as to why they stay, For many and maybe the vast majority, I think it comes down to economics. It costs money to relocate each and every time a hurricane heads your way and you can experience 2,3,4 or more in one season. For others it is a matter of same old same old. They live through these things year after year after year and I think complacency sets in.
