Before you ask why #HurricaneMilton victims didn’t evacuate despite warnings of an approaching storm, please consider that many folks don’t have cars, have no family or friends to stay with, can’t afford gasoline or hotels, don’t dare risk losing their jobs if they can’t return in time, can’t safely evacuate their elderly loved ones, won’t leave without their pets, or have legitimate health concerns about staying in shelters. Poor shaming them during and after a catastrophe is not a good look.

The HuzBob and I were talking about this last night. Our parents are dead. One set lived in FL anyway. My sister lives in FL and doesn't even have a pot to piss in. Don't think the rest of them would want us because we're the outsiders, we smoke, we have a dog and a cat. Weird sleep habits, too.
We'd just drive till we found a motel that would take our pets. But we would be able to buy more gasoline and pay for a motel, eat out. At least for a little while.
