>>>...If somone wants to stay, then I think the government has no right to say otherwise

You have got to be kidding...

Look at all the folks who completely ignored the evacuation BEFORE the hurricane hit and then cried "HELP US HELP US" AFTER the fact.

If they stay, they will get sick.. and then they will be on CNN saying HELP US HELP US...

I live in an area that is hit by hurricanes. Anything above a Cat 3 and you simply get the hell out of the way. If you decide to stay, you MUST BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR OWN SURVIVAL FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.

EVERYONE who lives in the path of the storm knows this.

I feel for the folks along the Gulf Coast, I really do. But this is BS.
