I am originally from Florida. I was in Ft. Lauderdale when Hurricane Andrew hit, and there was looting there as well. My take on mandatory evacuation is this...If everyone was made to evacuate then there would be nobody left behind to do the looting. After the storm, when the looting usually occurs, anyone in the area without permission should be arrested. This would have made me a little more secure in evacuating.
I agree 100%. I am in a coffee shop right now and everyone here is fuming at the prospect of using tax dollars to rebuild this below-sea-level city once again. To quote Albert Einstein, "the definition of INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
