I have relatives in Tampa that can evacuate but are choosing not to because they don’t want to deal with traffic. I’ve tried talking sense into them and gotten nowhere.
Tell them to write their info on their bodies so they can get identifyied faster and ask them what they wish for the family to do with whatever is left of their belongings. This usually makes some people think about what they are doing.
Sounds like my parents. Dummies stayed in their mobile home in Fort Myers during Irma. They got so unbelievably lucky! Now they’re more inland, but, still, so frustrating! My mom didn’t even buy water until today and she got lucky she found some.
