People Still Unprepared For Hurricane Season???

#1 Postby cyclonaut » Mon May 09, 2005 9:44 pm

According to a poll taken in 12 states from Texas to Maine,the majority of people are still ignorant when it comes to hurricanes.

56% of the people surveyed said they dont feel they are not vulnerable to hurricanes. :roll: In other words they feel it can't happen to them. :x

47% of these idiots say they have no plan on how to deal with a hurricane. :roll:

& 26% say that they will do nothing to prepare their property for a hurricane!!

Are people still this ##$%ing stupid today!!!After all we've been through last year alone..This is why I sometimes root hurricanes on because there are so many ignorant fools out there that really need to feel what a hurricane is all about.These comments like "it will never happen to me" &/or "Nothing is gonna happen to my property" is utter stupidity after seeing it happen 4 times to the same state in a 6 week period!

One of many thing the report went on to say was that some people still think they can get in their car and get way from the storm 1/2hour before the hurricane gets there. :lol:

Just pathetic!

We are surely living in a screwed up time. :roll:

Why should they worry? FEMA will come in and provide for them. Even if you suffered no damage you can still file a FEMA claim and get money. Just like Alfred E Newman said "What, me worry?".............MGC
