I would imagine so. Have they ever been ordered to evacuate?

No, thank goodness! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'll tell you, I think that I would have a hard time with someone telling me that I had to leave my home if I didn't want to.

And Yes I would fully realize that I (WE) would be on our own.

It would definitely be tough, but we would leave if a real threat was posed. Most items can be replaced, but not so people. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yes, depending upon the reason for the ordered evacuation I would leave as well, but I personally think some of the ordered evacuations are not necessary. Just present the facts and tell folks they should leave and that if they don't they are on their own.

Oh and If there are some that want to leave and for some reason can't go by themselves, help them.

I agree with that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I think it's wrong to endanger rescue personnel when folks are told to leave but don't, then find themselves in trouble! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I think that not accepting responsibility for our personal actions, at least in part, comes from being told for YEARS that "It's not our fault". It's THEIR fault, without ever being told who "They" are. And I think that the ringleader in this is the Cradle to Grave Mentality Many of those both in and out of Government are forcing on us.

Yep'! Well, since the cats and one dog have been fed, and the other two are still tucked-up, I'm going back to bed myself! See you around the Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The dangerous part many times in certain situations is not escaping, but going back in to help those unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, claiming that the Authorities are supposed to look out for them.

Rest Well Tom. May you and all yours always use the Common sense that we have all been endowed with. Peace and rest.
